Mothers In Arms

You are here: Home / Mothers In Arms


BushED is committed to creating an environment where children receive the best educational opportunities available. Education doesn’t start at Prep, it starts the day a child is born. Preparing a child to learn requires a whole of family support structure.

This Mothers In Arms program matches new mums with experienced mums / grandmothers who have been in similar circumstances, isolation, new parenthood, stationhand etc and who want to share their life experiences. All Buddies must complete a MHFA ( Mental Health First Aid Community Carer course at a cost of $270 AUD. BushED will refund the cost of this course to all Buddies who contribute more than 50 hours in the first year of Buddy support to BushED mums. This reimbursement will be made after 12 months of providing support.

If you feel you have the skills for such a volunteer role are are prepared to complete the course and support our mums, please register below.

If you are a mum or family and would like access to this service, register here.
If you are in need of urgent support please contact one of the organisations to the right.
