Supporting New Mother’s
Every new mum is gorgeous. Every new mum is courageous. Every new mum is our hero.
Every new mum should be celebrated. Sadly, this isn’t always the case. Some do it really tough – with no support, no resource and not a lot of hope. And that’s not ok. Every sister needs a cheer squad, so we’re linking arms with our local maternity hospitals in Australia with gorgeous packs to get these mums started – packs of clothes, hygiene products and nappies.
Due to growing need, we also partner with existing ‘at home’ programs for vulnerable new mums who are supported for the first 6 months of bub's life by a social worker/midwife within their own home. For these babies we provide larger-size clothing and nursery items. Occasionally we have been asked to supply prams and car seats as well.
The Ivory Project currently assists new mums in the following hospitals:
Mater Mothers
Nundah Community Health Centre
Mater CPU
Redcliffe Hospital
Ipswich Hospital
Royal Brisbane Women's Hospital
Caboolture Hospital
Logan Hospital
