Last week, South Coastal Babbingur Mia proudly celebrated National Reconciliation Week 2025 with this year’s theme: “Bridging Now to Next.”

On Tuesday, we began the day with a lovely morning tea, where a few BBM staff members shared heartfelt stories about their families and experiences related to the Stolen Generation, which led into our Women’s Menopause Health Information Session, delivered by Babbingur Mia GP Dr Tilly.

Wednesday saw a collaboration between the City of Rockingham – Local Government and our BBM Women’s Yarning Group for a Good Quick Tukka Workshop. The women came together to create some delicious food while learning more about nutrition and healthy eating.

To round off the week, on Friday our BBM playgroup ventured out to Naragebup - Rockingham Regional Environment Centre.

The kids had a blast walking the bush trails, playing in the adventure park, and exploring all the exhibits inside. The highlights of the day were definitely the birds, stingray and lizards!

Today, we pause to remember the Stolen Generations — Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who were forcibly removed from their families, communities, and culture.

At South Coastal, we acknowledge the deep and lasting impact of this practice, and we stand in solidarity with First Nations peoples. Our commitment is to listen, to learn, and to keep striving for a future that embraces truth-telling, reconciliation, and meaningful change.

On International Day of the Midwife we are excited to launch the Positive Birth Indigenous Program at Babbingur Mia.

Our Midwife has been trained as a Positive Birth Practitioner through Hypnobirthing Australia. We’re proud to offer Boodjari Yorgas a culturally strong and supportive space to learn, grow and prepare for childbirth.

The “hypno” part of hypnobirthing refers to a technique you will learn that helps let go of fears and release the good hormones that make birth more comfortable and enjoyable.

The program will give you knowledge, tools and support to help prepare for a positive and empowering birth, however your baby is born. You will also be given a booklet packed full of further resources to take home and refer back to.

Join us for an afternoon tea while we explore the evidence-based program. The program will run over 3 x 1.5hr sessions.

Call us, on 9550 0900, to register your interest or speak with our Midwife at your next appointment.

Babbingur Mia and South Coastal Health & Community Services are heartbroken to learn of the passing of our dear Chloe Websdale.

During her time with us, Chloe was a cherished member of our team, with a bright future ahead of her.

Jenna Greaves, BBM Clinical Nurse Manager said 'Chloe began her journey with us as a young trainee, and we had the privilege of watching her grow into a wonderful young woman.'

Though her journey took her in new directions, she always remained a part of the Babbingur Mia family, and her warmth, kindness, and contributions will never be forgotten.

Our hearts go out to Chloe's family and all who loved her. We extend our deepest sympathies during this difficult time.
