Support Care for New Parents – Newcastle & Lake Macquarie
Support Care for New Parents, is a brilliant service that gives people additional support across Newcastle and Lake Macquarie. Bringing a new baby into the world is one of life’s most beautiful moments. But for many families, it also comes with its fair share of challenges.

Emotional Support Care for New Parents in the Early Weeks

We offer emotional support for mums navigating the physical and emotional changes after birth, and new dad support in Lake Macquarie for fathers who may be juggling work, care and their own wellbeing. Our companions are kind, understanding and trained to support you with empathy and respect.
For many families, simply having someone to talk to during the day or lend a hand with small tasks can relieve stress and restore confidence.
