Miracle Babies Foundation is Australia’s leading not for profit organisation working to improve, support and enhance all lives impacted by a premature or sick birth. They believe prematurity and sickness at birth is a hidden and lifelong trauma that can be reduced through the courage, empathy and understanding of people who have experienced it. Because this journey needs more than medical care, it needs a community.
Miracle Babies Foundation is a community that families can turn to throughout their entire journey. Supporting families from pregnancy (NurtureLine and Nurture E Information Hub) to time spent in the Neonatal Unit (NurtureTime) to after discharge (NurtureGroup), and beyond - they are there every step of the way.
Miracle Babies Foundation NurtureGroup is a free play and support group, offering a safe and secure environment for children from birth to starting school, who have been impacted by a premature or sick birth with time in a neonatal unit or who have a prenatal anomaly, injury or condition diagnosed in the first 5 years of life resulting in ongoing medical challenges.
The Newcastle NurtureGroup offers local families a welcoming space to connect and feel supported. You’ll meet NurtureGroup Support Worker, Mackenzie, who understands the neonatal journey firsthand, as well as other families walking a similar path - while your children play and connect.

- A variety of toys to assist developmental play
