About Multiple Birth Awareness Week (MBAW):

Make it a good start for multiple birth families

This Multiple Birth Awareness Week, we’re focusing on how every Australian multiple birth family deserves a good start to their unique journey. Whether it’s:

• finding your community of support,
• joining a multiple birth prenatal session,
• accessing tailored education resources, or
• multiple-birth focused government policies

‘Make it a good start’ is all about ensuring that every multiple birth family begins their journey with the tools, support, and confidence they need to thrive.

We’d love to have you join us this Multiple Birth Awareness Week and support more multiple birth families in their journeys.

Multiple birth families need more support in Australia. Multiples are more likely to face greater challenges in their early years, necessitating additional dedicated support. In Australia, families with multiples receive no additional support, notwithstanding the modest Multiple Birth Allowance afforded to higher order multiples and subject to rigid means testing.

Only 11% of parents of multiples in Australia feel adequately supported by the programs and policies in place. It is time for a change! This Multiple Birth Awareness Week we are asking parents, grandparents, friends, caregivers and anyone who thinks multiples need more support to get involved!
