Supporting families experiencing antenatal and postnatal (perinatal) depression and anxiety. We believe your family deserves the best start in life.

Our vision is to improve the perinatal mental health of women, men and their families. If you or your partner are suffering from Perinatal (Post or Antenatal) Depression or Anxiety we are here to help you through this difficult time. Postnatal Depression (PND) can affect up to 16% of women (and 10% of men) with the onset usually occurring during the first year after birth. Antenatal Depression (AND) affects as many as 10% of women with onset at any time during pregnancy. Remember you are not alone in this; adjustment to parenting can be challenging for many parents. If you are experiencing overwhelming worry and/or low mood which is negatively affecting your life every day it could be postnatal depression. That's why we encourage you to speak to your GP and to read more about the services Perinatal Wellbeing Centre can offer. Give us a call - in confidence - to discuss your needs. Click on the links above to find out more. And don't forget, Perinatal Wellbeing Centre also helps dads as well as mums!

Today is Day for Daniel, Australia’s largest day of child safety education and
awareness.

We honour Daniel Morcombe’s life and legacy by taking meaningful action to
help create safer spaces for children, online and offline.

Day for Daniel is a reminder that child safety is everyone’s responsibility. By having
important conversations, teaching children how to Recognise, React, Report, and
being ready to listen and believe, we can all play a part in keeping kids safe.

Last week we were thrilled to once again put on our annual Perinatal Wellbeing Fest. It was a gorgeous morning with plenty of blue skies and golden sunshine making it the perfect day to spend some time outdoors learning and connecting. We were so happy to see so many organisations in attendance, providing information on their services to the many families that turned out to enjoy the day.

The wonderful Aunty Violet Sheridan welcomed us to Country, one of our former clients spoke on her lived perinatal experience, and we heard from Minister for Mental Health Marisa Paterson MLA. Combined with the various activities and local services available to attendees, a delicious sausage sizzle and coffee van, and a scavenger hunt and raffle, this year’s Fest was truly one to remember.

Massive thanks to our sponsors for their contributions to our raffle:
Raiders Weston
HOYTS Belconnen
National Dinosaur Museum
Canberra Labor Club Group
Grill'd Woden

Your support was incredible and really made this event special. And congratulations to all our raffle winners!

Thanks once again to everyone who attended the 2026 Perinatal Wellbeing Fest! We were delighted to have you all 🩵😁
