Miracle Babies provides community, connection and education.
From peer support provided cotside and continued after-discharge, to a 24/7 family support line, along with specialised support and play groups after discharge, we guide and empower the entire family unit to navigate life with a sick and vulnerable newborn and beyond. We champion the parent voice inside the neonatal unit, help parents confidently advocate for their child as they grow and learn from others with a shared experience.
Our work is proven to influence better long-term outcomes for more thriving children.
- NurtureLine – 24/7 family support helpline
- NurtureTime – in-hospital peer to peer support
- NurtureGroup – support and play groups after discharge
We are committed to supporting families through their Neonatal journey, the transition home and beyond.
