The SEMBA committee look forward to once again hosting our annual Easter Family Picnic on Sunday April 19th. A FREE event for our members to help us connect and touch base with other families of multiples.  Bring your picnic rug and enjoy the sausage sizzle, face painting, and Easter egg hunt (about 11.30am). It's also a wonderful opportunity to catch up with old and new friends, and hopefully pick-up some hand-me-down goods. We will bring a number of cardboard boxes labelled by age group. If you have clothes or other hand-me-downs in good condition, please bring them along and put them in the relevant boxes for another family to use. A great way to reuse items and a win for the environment and our families’ budgets. This event is reserved for current SEMBA members; however you are welcome to bring along grandparents / additional adults to help out with your little ones. Tickets MUST be pre-booked via the 'Get Tickets' link for catering and insurance purposes. Here you can indicate how many adults and children will be coming, along with any dietary requirements you may have (we will do our best to cater accordingly). Please RSVP by Wednesday 15th April. This will allow us to get everyone catered for and make sure the Easter bunny has enough eggs to hide. Finally, if anyone can spare an hour to assist the SEMBA committee with the BBQ on the day, we would LOVE to hear from you! Please get in touch via email, at secretary@semba.amba.org.au. With thanks to Glen Eira City Council for their support with funding for this event. We’re looking forward to seeing you and enjoy a fun day together. 

We are excited to once again be hosting a 'Bubs and Bumps' morning tea for SEMBA members who are expecting their multiples or with babies aged 12 months or under. We hope you can join us for a cuppa, morning tea and chat at committee member Mariona’s house in Carnegie (address to be sent on RSVP). These morning teas are a great way to meet and connect with other SEMBA members who have babies of a similar age, while having someone else make you a hot drink! We know twin babies means our members are likely to have lots of different schedules, so feel free to arrive anytime that suits you between 10am - 1pm. Morning tea provided - be sure to RSVP (select 'Get Tickets') so we can cater accordingly. Please advise if you have any dietary requirements by emailing socialmedia@semba.amba.org.au. Hope to see you there!

The SEMBA Committee invite all our lovely mums to join us for a special afternoon tea, to celebrate Mother's Day. Final date and venue to be confirmed (17 or 24 May)

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

This one’s just for the dads. Join us for a SEMBA Dads Catch-Up, an adults-only evening designed to give dads of twins and multiples a chance to unwind, connect, and enjoy some well-deserved time out — no kids required. The plan is a relaxed night out, potentially over dinner, drinks, or a casual pub-style catch-up, with the exact format shaped by what works best for the group. Whether it’s sharing stories, having a laugh, or simply enjoying adult conversation without interruptions, this event is all about connection and support. No pressure, no agenda — just a chance to meet other dads who get it. Ideas and suggestions are very welcome, and more details (including venue, time, and activities) will be shared once plans are locked in. 📅 Date: TBD Keep an eye out for updates — we’d love to see you there.

A practical first aid course for parents and carers, supported through grant funding. Registration details and course outline to be confirmed.

Our SEMBA Playgroup runs every fortnight 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 :)
