Community Bubs
Parent and Babies Support with Community Bubs
Becoming a parent changes everything. Whether you’re expecting your first baby or growing your family, the early days can feel overwhelming. Community Bubs creates a warm, welcoming space where you can find support, build confidence, and connect with other parents who understand what you’re going through.
About This Service
For nine months, we walk beside you on your parenting journey. Whether you’re in your final trimester or have a little one under 6 months, you’ll find a welcoming community here. We celebrate all families – first-time parents, experienced parents, single parents, couples – everyone is welcome.
Over the course of up-to 9 months, we can:
- Help you build self-esteem and confidence as a parent

- Introduce you to other groups and services in your local community
- Connect you with other support services
- Share information about infant development, mental health awareness, and the impact of family violence on infant development
- Help you improve communication skills with other family members
We’ll work with you to build a strong foundation, so, together with the right community connections, to playgroups, support groups and educational programs you can continue to look after your infant for their future development and wellbeing.

Tory, Dylan and Violet's Story
At 20, ‘Tori’, a first time mum to ‘Violet’, was referred to the Community Bubs program when Violet was 14 weeks old.
“The activities I was referred to and the welcoming feeling [the worker] put out to me after feeling so isolated for months was just exactly what I needed. The mental health decline was honestly made better just by having someone there for me.”
