Really proud of our growth this year and we haven’t even stepped into December yet!
Taking time to celebrate the Coolamon Community that includes everyone in our warehouse, all pur partners, sponsors, donors and board.

We have come a long way in 4 years and coming quickly up to the end of our 5th.

Maps like these really put our growth and impact into perspective in a way words don’t quite manage to so succinctly.

Almost half a decade. Lots of relationships built. Lots of mums supported and always putting Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations first.

We still have a long way to go and much more we want to achieve. Meeting the demand across the NT, Central Aus and WA is high on our priority list.

But we need support to make it happen and do so sustainably.

Support us today by investing in our team, vision and model.

Recent Australian research into Baggarrook Yurrongi - “Women’s Journey” examined a culturally tailored continuity-of-midwifery model for women having a First Nations baby.

Women were supported by a known midwife throughout pregnancy, birth and the early postnatal period, alongside existing First Nations health services and supports.

This study is important Australian evidence from a model developed through partnership between La Trobe University , Victorian Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation and Victorian maternity services.
But it speaks deeply to why we do what we do and how we do it.

Coolamon Community, our role is different. We work alongside Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations to provide practical maternal and infant essentials that can support engagement with antenatal care and help families have access to what they need when baby arrives.

Because removing practical barriers matters.

Trust matters.

Relationships matter.

Culture matters.

Simple but powerful. And definitely worth investing in.

Research led by Professors Della Forster and Helen McLachlan, La Trobe University, in partnership with VACCHO. Published in eClinicalMedicine, 2026.

We are thrilled to announce an addition to our board. Skye Stewart is a Wemba Wemba and Wergaia woman, mother, grandmother, registered midwife and researcher with extensive experience supporting Aboriginal mothers, babies and families. After working clinically as a midwife, Skye has dedicated the past five years to understanding and addressing the complex factors contributing to stillbirth, SIDS and SUDI in Aboriginal communities, as well as supporting families experiencing complex trauma.

Skye has worked across Red Nose Australia, the University of Queensland’s Stillbirth Centre of Research Excellence and the University of Melbourne’s Indigenous Health Equity Unit. Her work has included developing culturally responsive safe sleep and SIDS prevention resources, adapting stillbirth prevention initiatives for Aboriginal families, and creating Jiba Pepeny – Star Baby, a culturally safe resource supporting Aboriginal families following the loss of a baby. Skye brings to the Coolamon Community Board deep expertise in midwifery, culturally safe perinatal care, safe sleep, research and Aboriginal maternal and infant health.

Looking forward to what the future holds with you involved 💛

The details in what we do really matter to us. Connection, celebration and culture - these flow through every element of our organisation and our model. They make sure we listen to community, make sure we tread lightly and take time to build relationships across Australia. Since day one and as we continue to grow.

Coolamon Community knows babies grow up strong in family, culture and community.
Our Coolamon supports new Aboriginal mums to have everything she needs to care for baby in her arms.

This is an appreciation post for the wonderful Jim. He is not only a delight to work with, his service is exceptional, his family are beautiful and he is actively advocates for our work. If you see Jim around at Bangalow Post Office be sure to give him a smile. The world is brighter because of people like him. Without Jim and Australia Post we simply wouldn’t be able to get to remote locations. Mothers who would otherwise not have access to essentials are able to enter motherhood with everything they need.

THANK YOU JIM!
