✨ We were honoured to welcome proud Wurundjeri artist and Traditional Owner Simone Thomson (Woi-Wurrung/Yorta Yorta) to Tweddle Footscray, where she created a breathtaking mural for our training and education space. 

💛❤️🖤 Over two days, Simone painted a deeply moving and symbolic mural that captures Tweddle’s role in guiding and supporting families, and honours 65,000+ years of storytelling and reminds us that culture, community and care are central to everything we do at Tweddle.

The artwork also pays tribute to our much-loved former staff member, Barb Conroy (dec.). 

The mural features:
💛Animal tracks representing family journeys.
❤️Tools and coolamons symbolising shared knowledge and care, cultural symbols of protection, healing and connection to Country.
🖤A tribute to Barb, a Powerful Owl (Barb’s favourite) watching over all. 

With gratitude to Simone for her incredible work and to the William Angliss Charitable Fund for making this project possible.

I have the most AMAZING news to share! 🧸

Our Northcote Early Parenting Centre will be run by the renowned Tweddle Child & Family Health Service!

Tweddle has over 100 years experience supporting families with their little ones.

Having their parenting expertise in Northcote will be extraordinary.

Once built, families will be able to stay for five nights at the centre getting hands on care.

They’ll help with everything from sleep and settling to behaviour and attachment.

All for free in our public health system. The way it should be.

Welcome to Northcote, Tweddle!

Tweddle is very excited to have been appointed as operators of the new EPC in Northcote!

We will be able to provide greater access to families in the inner north and beyond who need support with babies and children up to four years old across a range of challenges that come with those early years of parenting.

It is a privilege to bring over 100 years of experience and expertise in early parenting support to Northcote as part of the State Government's expansion of the sector.

Thank you Minister Blandthorn and Kat Theophanous MP for your advocacy and support of this wonderful addition to services for young families. We are very excited!

How does play strengthen attachment? 💞

Play and strengthening attachment are central to our Programs.

Through play, parents and caregivers build trust, learn to tune into their child’s cues, and create joyful shared experiences. 🤗

These moments help babies and toddlers feel safe, understood, and valued, important foundations for healthy emotional and social development. 💖

At Tweddle, we support families to discover the power of play as a tool for connection, confidence, and strengthened attachment. 🎨

If you’d like to know more about our free Day Stay and Residential programs, call us today on (03) 9689 1577 or make a booking on our website.

Last week we celebrated the most fun event on the calendar - Book Week! 📖
This years theme was 'Book an Adventure' and as you can see a lot of us took up the challenge! 🎭
Reading to your little ones is so important, and we are lucky that our amazing Play Based Educators created reading activities for our clients all week to participate in and enjoy.📚
Can you figure out what book characters we were?

In the late 1980s, baby Anthony spent two years at the Tweddle Baby Hospital while his mum Mary received health care elsewhere. Mary always dreamed of helping other mothers facing adversity, and decades later, her wish became reality.

When Mary passed away recently, her family created a fundraiser through Tweddle’s GiveNow platform, raising nearly $18,000 from over 60 donors in her honour.

While organising the tribute, we unearthed a photo of toddler Anthony in Tweddle’s 1987 Annual Report, and incredibly, was able to reconnect him with Karen, the caring Mothercraft Nurse who looked after him all those years ago. She still works for Tweddle today!

Thank you to the family and everyone who contributed to this beautiful tribute, your generosity will continue helping parents and babies build safe and secure foundations. 💛

You may wish to make a donation to Tweddle of your own, at the link in bio.
