THIS IS A BIG ONE FOR WOMEN IN MACKAY!

The new Senate Select Committee on Women’s Health is now accepting submissions and they want to hear directly from women about their experiences.

The inquiry will look at critical women’s health issues including postpartum care, women’s pain, fertility and the regulation of medical devices.

For women in regional communities like Mackay, this is an important opportunity to have our experiences heard. We know how long local women have gone without adequate access to services and support.

And if you’re not sure how to make a submission, The Mum Hub can help 🤍

Come into the Hub and our volunteers can support you to understand the process, share your experience and submit your story if you’d like to.

You don’t need to write a complicated submission. Your lived experience matters.

If you’ve experienced gaps in women’s health care, postpartum support, maternity services, pain care or other barriers to accessing appropriate care, we encourage you to consider having your voice heard.

📍 Pop into The Mum Hub if you’d like support with your submission.

Mackay women deserve to be heard. Let’s make sure they are 🤍

The new Senate Select Committee on Women’s Health is now accepting submissions. The Select Committee will examine critical women’s health issues including the postpartum period, women’s pain, fertility and the regulation of medical devices.

Tiff spent the morning assisting Zonta Club of Mackay Inc put together Clean Birth Kits to support women in developing countries where many births take place without access to medical care or trained birth attendants.

These kits contain the bare essentials to help minimise the risk of infection during birth:

🧼 Soap for hand washing
🪒 A sterile razor for cutting the cord
🩷 A clean plastic sheet for Mum to birth on
🧤 Gloves to help protect the person supporting the birth
🎀 A cord tie

Simple items that we might take for granted can make a huge difference when basic medical supplies aren’t available.

We’re incredibly grateful to have been able to lend a hand and support Zonta in this important work.

Every mother deserves to give birth with dignity, cleanliness and basic protection, no matter where in the world she lives.

You’re a real local hero, Tiff 💖

Sometimes you need a coffee and a chat.
Sometimes you need practical support.
Sometimes you need someone who understands because they’ve been there too.

And sometimes you need the right person to help you navigate the bigger stuff.

That’s why The Held Project is building a village around mums. For mums. With mums. By mums.

Through The Mum Hub, mums can access a network of support including a doula, a lactation consultant, chiropractor, endorsed midwife, child health nurse, perinatal clinician and volunteers with lived experience.

Different people. Different expertise. One shared goal: to make sure mums feel held, supported and less alone.

Because you shouldn’t have to figure out motherhood by yourself.

It takes a village. And we’re here to help build yours 🤍

💖 Save this for a daily reminder.
💖 Tag someone who has been part of your village.
💖 Share this with a mum who might need the reminder today.
