A Passion for Changing Lives

Professionals, students, retires…Miracle Babies Foundation volunteers come from all walks of life, yet they share one common goal; a passion for improving the lives of premature and sick newborns, and their families.

We are also dedicated to supporting Newborn Intensive Care Units, for without the NICU many of our children would not have survived and for that we are extremely grateful.

There is something special about getting involved with Miracle Babies Foundation.

“Our volunteers are the lifeblood of the organisation.” Without our volunteers we would not be able to continue our work across Australia
