The Australian Multiple Birth Association (AMBA) is open to all multiple birth families and multiples. We provide information and support to parents who are raising multiples and provide a way for older twins and triplets+ to meet each other and network.

The Multiple Birth Association Bereavement Support Group (M-BABS) was formed to provide a means of communication for bereaved multiple birth families and surviving multiples and to act as a forum for the sharing of information relating to the unique aspects of loss for a multiple birth family.
