Want to know how your funds can help?

Olivia's Place was established in response to a need identified in our community for a holistic service to support and resource expectant and new parents.

Our mission is provide support during pregnancy and the important early parenting period - the first year of a child's life.  We do this through early detection and preventative activities including perinatal depression and anxiety assessment, parenting education, mentoring, referral and liaison with other services and community groups.  We also provide material aid from small items such as nappies and wipes, breast and maternity pads, right through to the larger nursery items such as cots, prams and car restraints.

We are committed to building family friendly communities, and are excited to be in an area that has individuals and businesses so willing to support this vision.

Your financial support helps us develop and deliver ongoing and new programs aimed at supporting new families on their journey through pregnancy and parenthood.

2015/16 FY we supported 92 families with 275 consultations and education sessions as well as $19,705 in value of material aid
