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).
