Practical support
Breast pump hire, peer networks, and a community that shows up when you need it.

SEMBA (the South Eastern Multiple Birth Association) is a volunteer-run support group covering Port Phillip, Bayside, Glen Eira, Kingston, and Monash. Everyone on our committee is a parent of multiples themselves.

We run fortnightly playgroups during school terms, expectant parent information evenings, and a full calendar of social events, many at low or no cost. Members also get access to low-cost hire of double electric hospital-grade breast pumps.

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

Nothing helps more than connecting with parents who've been there.

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
