From board and committee appointments to speaking engagements, panels and leadership opportunities, the Directory makes it easier to find the right women for the right opportunities.

With 82 women represented across 21 areas of expertise, this is an important step towards making women’s skills, experience and impact more visible.

WOMEN’S EXPERIENCES SHOULD SHAPE WOMEN’S HEALTHCARE.

A national inquiry into women’s health is now open for submissions.

The Australian Senate’s Select Committee on Women’s Health is examining women’s healthcare across the life course, including pregnancy, postpartum care and maternal physical and mental health.

At Caring Mums, we see the difference connection, practical support and being heard can make during the transition to motherhood.

Your experience matters.

You don’t need to be an expert. Simply share what happened, what helped, what was missing and what could have been better.

Submissions close 9 October 2026.

👉 Have your say via the Australian Parliament submission portal. Link in bio.

Women shouldn’t just be part of the conversation. We should help shape what comes next.

Have your say on women’s health🩷❤️

Submissions are now open for the Australian Senate Select Committee inquiry into women’s health, with a specific focus on post-partum healthcare and lived experience, including women’s experiences of pain and medical misogyny.

At Caring Mums, we know how important early intervention and preventative perinatal support can be in shaping a mother’s transition into motherhood and influencing her health and wellbeing well beyond those early months.

Our President, Anna Serry, speaks to why this inquiry matters and the importance of listening to women’s lived experiences.

This is an important opportunity to put women’s experiences on the record and help inform meaningful change in how women are supported during the post-partum period.

If you have an experience to share, your voice matters.

Follow Caring Mums for more information on how to make a submission, along with practical support from our team to help you do so.

Motherhood is not a niche audience.
Discovering Matrescence.

There are millions of mothers navigating the realities of raising families, yet motherhood is too often treated as a side conversation rather than a significant life transition that deserves greater understanding and support.

Matrescence gives us a language for that transition. The physical, emotional, psychological and social changes that happen as we become mothers and continue to evolve through motherhood.

We need to be better educated, better supported and better equipped to navigate motherhood, in all its stages.

At Caring Mums, we believe mothers deserve support that recognises the whole person, not just the role they play within a family.

Because when we support mothers, we support families, communities and the next generation.

Motherhood matters. Mothers matter. And mothers deserve to be supported.

NCJWA Victoria’s Caring Mums program is proud to be supported by PANDA (Perinatal Anxiety & Depression Australia) PANDA Australia helping ensure volunteers are equipped to provide informed, compassionate support to mothers during the transition to parenthood.

22/07/2026

Supporting mums starts with supporting the people who walk alongside them. 💜

Our Caring Mums volunteers recently took part in professional development with PANDA Australia (Perinatal Anxiety & Depression Australia), led by Jenna Swift Jenna Swift, Communications Officer at PANDA.

The session provided valuable insights into perinatal mental health, equipping our volunteers with greater knowledge, confidence and practical tools to better support the women and families they connect with every day.

At NCJWA Victoria, we believe ongoing learning strengthens the care we provide and helps ensure no mum feels she has to navigate this journey alone.

A heartfelt thank you to Jenna and the PANDA team for sharing their expertise and helping empower our volunteers to make an even greater impact.
