AMBA is a not-for-profit volunteer organisation that provides support, resources and education to families and/or carers with multiple births. The national organisation that exists today had humble beginnings as a "mother's of twins" club based in Newcastle NSW formed in 1969. By 1974, this one club had grown requiring the formation of a national governing body to support the many local clubs all over Australia. Today there are multiple birth clubs in every State and Territory of Australia with membership of around 5000 families.

How does this work?

  • Each local club is an autonomous body providing services to multiple birth parents within their areas.
  • By standardising services and replicating club structure, there are now 62 clubs through out Australia.
  • Families pay a membership fee to their local club and a portion of that fee is passed on to AMBA for affiliation as a national body.
