The South Eastern Multiple Birth Association (SEMBA) is a support group for multiple birth familiies run by a volunteer committee of parents with multiples of their own.

Our aim is to provide a means of communication for sharing information on the care and raising of multiple birth children, as well as opportunities for connection, which is so important for parent wellbeing.   

SEMBA supports families with multiples living in and around the south-east of Melbourne, covering much of the the local government areas of Port Phillip, Bayside, Glen Eira, Kingston, and now Monash.  

Members have access to Expectant Parent Information sessions, presented by volunteer parents of multiples, as well as various information sessions with external speakers such as Sleep and Settling, School Readiness, Nutrition, Speech and Language development, and First Aid for Families. We also host regular social events for our families, such as our annual Easter picnic and End-of-Year Party, morning teas, and parent drinks, often at low or no cost to our members.

SEMBA also offers low cost hire of double electric hospital grade breast pumps. 

Most importantly, SEMBA provides opportunities to connect with local families of multiples, because nothing is more valuable to parents of multiples than other parents of multiples!

SEMBA is proudly affiliated with the Australian Multiple Birth Association (AMBA).

Our SEMBA Playgroup runs every fortnight during the school term and offers a relaxed, welcoming space for families with twins and multiples to connect, play, and support one another. With fantastic indoor and outdoor areas, little ones can explore a sandpit, climbing play equipment, and open play spaces designed for safe and active fun. Whether your children are crawling, cruising, or climbing, there’s something for everyone. SEMBA will provide light refreshments for parents and children — but be quick, because the fruit always disappears fast! 🍎🍌 This playgroup is a safe, judgement-free space where you’re welcome to arrive when you can and leave when you must. There’s no pressure, no expectations — just community. And if you ever need an extra pair of hands, there’s always someone nearby ready to help, because that’s what SEMBA families do best. Perfect for building friendships, sharing experiences, and letting the kids play while parents connect. Always refer to the WhatsApp Playgroup channel to see if it's on that week :) Tentative dates are as follows: Feb 6, 20 Mar 6, 20 May 1, 15, 29 Jun 12, 26 Jul 24 Aug 7, 21 Sep 4, 18 Oct 16, 30 Nov 13, 27 Dec 11

Hi all, We look forward to welcoming all SEMBA members who are expecting their twins soon for a information evening hosted by two Committee Members. Hoping you can make it and please bring lots of questions along! We know that learning you're expecting multiples can feel overwhelming or even daunting. That's exactly why we created this space to chat. All questions are welcome! Whether it's something keeping you up at night or the wildest "what if" scenario that's crossed your mind, please ask. We've probably thought it, worried about it, or experienced it too. Thanks you on behalf of the SEMBA Committee
