AMBA Board of Directors

The Australian Multiple Birth Association's (AMBA) origins date back to a group of mothers who gathered in Newcastle in 1969 and formed a Mothers of Twins Club to provide support for each other on the journey of being multiple birth mothers.

Over time, similar clubs began to appear across the country. AMBA was founded in 1974 to bring these clubs together, and is now a registered Australian charity run by volunteers with a board of directors and over 40 clubs nationally.

AMBA supports families with twins, triplets or more through the health and emotional challenges they face – the key ones being premature birth and mental health risks.

AMBA's mission is to enable positive health outcomes, promote awareness and equality for multiple birth families through advocacy, education and community. AMBA works nationally to liaise with governments and other community organisations; initiate and promote research; produce and distribute literature.
