UPDATE 📢

It has been our first week of reduced opening hours and a temporary adjustment to some services. In the coming week we aim to advertise for the Centre Manager position.

Birth and Beyond remains committed to keeping our doors open for families. In the past year alone, we have supported hundreds of local parents through antenatal education, drop-in support, referrals, equipment hire and community connection.

This transition also highlights the urgent need for sustainable funding. Around 70% of our services, including postnatal support and drop-in assistance, are currently unfunded.

Our Committee is actively advocating to the NT and Commonwealth Governments to secure the long-term investment needed to ensure this service remains strong and stable for the future.

Thank you to our members, partners and community for your continued support 💛

Today we say goodbye and good luck to our fabulous Centre Co-Ordinator, Bridget as she moves to a different role.

Bridget has been an asset to the centre over the past 20-months, offering a friendly and familiar face to families, and bringing fresh ideas to allow young families to meet & connect in the community. A big thank you to Bridget for her wonderful service.

We will be advertising for a Centre Manager in the coming week. All updates will be shared via social media.
