Donate to help us support our community

We are a volunteer-run organisation, a diverse group of mums who have birthed in the hospitals and at home in the Illawarra. We care so much about our community having access to the best maternity care including continuous care by a known midwife. Your generous donation, no matter how big or small goes directly into paying for lobbying work, events, community education, holding community meetings, communications and more.

Our work is conducted on what always was and always will be Aboriginal land — the Countries of the Wodi Wodi, Wandi Wandandian, Dharawal, Yuin of the Yuin Nation. Our work is committed to justice for all people including the sovereignty of First Nations people, knowledge systems and practices. In our work, we commit to reverence, healing, respect, responsibility and reciprocity with all beings, the land, sky, seas and waterways and pay our deepest respect to Elders past, present and emerging.
