Supporting Mothers, Strengthening Communities

Mothers are at the heart of our families, communities, and future generations. Every day, women across Australia show extraordinary strength, resilience, and care as they nurture their children, support their families, and contribute to their communities.
At Maternal Health Matters, we believe every mother deserves access to quality, respectful maternity care throughout pregnancy, labour, birth, and the postnatal period; no matter where she lives in Australia. Every woman should have the opportunity to feel safe, supported, and empowered during her motherhood journey.
By improving access to compassionate healthcare and support services, we can help mothers thrive physically, emotionally, and socially. When mothers are supported, families and communities are stronger, and babies are given the best possible start in life.
Today, and every day, we celebrate and honour mothers for the invaluable role they play and the lasting impact they have on the lives of those around them
