A Community for Families of Multiples in Newcastle, Lake Macquarie & the Hunter
Parenting multiples is an incredible journey—one filled with double (or triple or even! quadruple!) the joy, challenges, and love. At Newcastle Multiple Birth Club (NMBC), we’re here to support you every step of the way. Run entirely by volunteer parents of multiples, our club is a place to connect, share experiences, and build friendships with families who truly understand.
Support from those who know
We are the Newcastle Multiple Birth Club Inc. (NMBC), and we understand that being a parent of twins, triplets or more can be an incredible challenge.
Newcastle Multiple Birth Club Inc. (NMBC) offers support to parents of twins, triplets or more, and to those expecting a multiple birth. We are a voluntary non-profit organisation, providing friendship as well as advice and information on the experience of raising multiples. We speak from the point of view of parents who have experienced the joys and difficulties of raising multiples.
The main aim of NMBC is to provide a means of communication for sharing information about the care and raising of multiple birth children, and to increase the awareness of the individuality of twins, triplets, quadruplets and other multiples. Activities include regular meetings, coffee mornings and other social functions. Services include newsletter, private Facebook group, information, and direct access to the Australian Multiple Birth Association (AMBA), of which the club is a foundation member. All parents of multiple births (biological, adoptive, expectant, bereaved) are eligible for membership in this unique club.
Friendships &
Connection
The most valuable part of NMBC is the friendships you’ll form. Whether you’re expecting, navigating the newborn stage, or chasing busy toddlers, our community is here to support you.
We host social events across the year as well as facilitate region specific chat groups to connect you with other multiple birth families in your area.
