23.01.2022 Post Covid- first catch up! : What a sensational day it turned out to be, the clouds parted and the blue sky glared so we could all reunite and get back to business at the FNQMBA. Sam from ABC radio came to interview us on how we survived without our support group during lockdown. I think it's unanimous, that we all got through, (cos you know, we're tough) but it was lovely for the kids (and us) to get back together again! #bettertogether... If you're looking to join the FNQMBA, shoot us a private message here or email us at [email protected]. Come along for a visit to one of our play dates.

20.01.2022 PLAY DATE! If your a mum of twins or more (or expecting) we're having a coffee morning meet up tomorrow, Tuesday 21st . Welcome to visitors and enquiries. PM here.

17.01.2022 MBAW Day 4 . The FNQMBA is run by volunteers. Everything the club achieves or presents is due to the efforts of our very own Cairns volunteer base, who are all managing busy families and working outside the home too. The AMBA Chairperson, Ashlee Tenberge believes that "it takes a special person to volunteer. True volunteers deliver most successfully on projects to which they devote their hearts - I see this every day in AMBA". These are the numbers that unite multiple birth... families. These are the numbers that give strength to AMBA’s cause. A cause about providing more support to families with multiples across Australia. ‘Support from those who know’. Thank you to all the volunteers in our FNQMBA committee. #MBAW2020
