09.01.2022 AMBA supports the petition to have abdominoplasty reinstated to the Medicare Benefits Schedule for women with abdominal separation after pregnancy. Mums who have had a multiple birth are more prone to abdominal separation, which leads to ongoing medical issues and reduced quality of life. Please sign the petition to show your support before it closes on 23rd September. https://www.aph.gov.au/petition_list?id=EN1751

09.01.2022 Nominations are now open for the AMBA Appreciation Awards.

03.01.2022 Expressions of Interest are now open for the AMBA Board of Directors. Come and join the wonderful team.

02.01.2022 Got a feeling that someone you know or care about it isn’t behaving as they normally would? Perhaps they seem out of sorts? More agitated or withdrawn? Or they’...re just not themselves. Trust that gut instinct and act on it. Amongst plenty of positive experiences and the joys of raising multiples, the multiple birth community also face challenging realities such as poorer physical and developmental health outcomes for mothers and babies. When considering the family unit, health is not just the absence of disease, but encompasses a holistic view of physical, mental and social well-being. As we head into R U OK day tomorrow on Thurs 10 September, learn more about the signs and when it's time to ask R U OK?

01.01.2022 AMBA volunteers advocate for all multiple birth families by using our collective voice to enact change. In the past year we have successfully fought to have the... Multiple Birth Club lower cost formula reinstated, and contributed to an international discussion paper and agenda setting workshop on driving better health outcomes for multiple birth families.
