I’m incredibly proud!, excited and delighted to share that yesterday Motherhood Village was announced the winner of the Early Years Award at the Queensland Mental Health Awards, hosted by Open Minds and supported by the Queensland Mental Health Commission, Queensland Government Queensland Health and Queensland Alliance for Mental Health.

This recognition, on a respected platform of this level, really means the world to me. To see the work that our small but mighty team pours their hearts into every week, supporting parents during the perinatal period and early parenthood, acknowledged in this way, is incredibly special.

This award also highlights the impact of Motherhood Village’s perinatal mental health peer support services, the power of lived experience, and the importance of community connection in improving the mental health of Queensland families.

Thank you to our wonderful Peer Leaders, our Resident Grandma volunteers, our Board of Directors, our Supporters and to those who have been advising and mentoring me along the way… I’m very thankful to you all and how we are able to help our community.

💛 This is Our Why

“Thank you for creating an amazing space for women to come together to connect over shared experiences with motherhood. It’s helped me more than you know.”

These are the words that remind us why we do what we do.

At Motherhood Village, every story, every shared tear, every laugh around the circle holds the power to heal, not just the one who shares it, but the one who needs to hear it most.

Because when one mother opens up about her journey, it gives another the courage to do the same.

That’s how connection begins.
That’s how we feel seen, heard, and less alone.
This is the heart of our Village … mothers supporting mothers, guided by lived experience, creating change one conversation at a time.

🌸 Welcome Back, Our Wonderful Village Art Team!
We’re so happy to have our Miami Village Art team back together for Term 4... our incredible Peer Leader Renee, and our caring Resident Grandmas Kaitlan, Robyn and Helen.
Every Thursday, this special team holds space for mothers to slow down, connect, and feel supported. These sessions are designed to support your mental health through creativity, connection and conversation, all led from lived experience, because we know how much it helps to be understood by someone who’s been there. 💛
As one mum shared after a recent session:
“Such a lovely session, with Renee leading. It’s so supportive, an environment to listen and share.”
A heartfelt thank you to thanks to their generous support, we’re able to continue bringing this vital, free service to Gold Coast families.
These sessions fill quickly... book ahead to save your spot or join the waitlist via the website or link in our bio.

Every piece of feedback we receive is more than words, it’s a reflection of a mums experience.

When a mum shares her story, she not only honours her own journey, but also encourages another mum to seek support, to feel seen, and to know she’s not alone.

We deeply value every mum who takes a moment to share their story, because together, we are breaking down stigma surrounding perinatal mental health and building a village of connection, compassion, and understanding.

A huge thank you to for your generous support and for choosing Motherhood Village as the beneficiary of the recent Bond University Women’s Network Lunch 💛⁠

The funds raised help us continue to provide free, in-person mental health peer support for parents navigating mental health challenges during pregnancy and early parenthood. ⁠

Your support means more mums and dads can access the care, connection, and community they need, right here on the Gold Coast, when they need it most.⁠

It was a privilege to be part of such a thoughtful event focused on women’s health and wellbeing.

Thank you to and for your support.

I’m equal parts delighted and humbled to announce the appointment of Benjamin Cox as a Director on the Board of Motherhood Village.

Since first meeting Ben in 2024, I’ve been so impressed, not just by his wealth of knowledge and expertise in the not-for-profit sector and in particular the health NFP’s, but also by his kindness and generosity to help.

Ben has dedicated his career to changing the lives of others, holding senior roles with organisations such as the Royal Children's Hospital Foundation, The Cerebral Palsy League, MS Queensland, Gold Coast Hospital Foundation, Legacy, and now as a Director at HomeMade.

This past year has been a big year for Motherhood Village… we officially became a registered charity and expanded the delivery of our free perinatal mental health peer support services for mothers and parents across the Gold Coast.

Welcoming Ben to the board marks an exciting new chapter for us, as we work to shape our strategic vision and scale our impact, whilst maintaining the quality of care that we are becoming known for.
