Will you step up for parents like Tracey?
When Tracey dreamed of becoming a mum, she never imagined the emotional and physical toll it would take on her mental health. The birth of her third child almost pushed her to breaking point. For eight months, she endured sleepless nights, relentless crying, and the challenges for her baby boy who suffered from severe reflux and allergies.
“I was a mess. I was having dark invasive thoughts. Imagining awful things happening to my family. I struggled to find any happy moments day to day.”
Exhausted and overwhelmed, Tracey began experiencing panic attacks, which finally led her to seek help from her GP. That decision connected her with Gidget Foundation Australia.
From that moment, Tracey found the support she so desperately needed. Her Gidget Clinician became her refuge, equipping her with tools and strategies to manage her anxiety and rebuild her confidence.
Thanks to supporters like yourself, Tracey is a resilient and confident mother today.
Every move makes an impact
Gidget Foundation Australia provides a range of evidence-based clinical services and resources to prevent, support and treat perinatal mental health challenges.
Free resources
Our investment in Emotional Wellbeing Screening ensures antenatal mental health check-ups with trained midwives are now routine in seven private hospitals across three states, with plans to expand to 15 by 2027.
Free counselling
Thanks to our supporters, we’ve provided over 95,000 mental health appointments to new parents via telehealth or in-person at 34 Gidget Houses. By 2027, we aim to expand to 45 locations and deliver 145,000 appointments.
Free peer support groups
With 100,000 Australian parents affected by PNDA each year, specialist support is crucial. Our Gidget Village Programs provide online sessions on common issues to help new parents navigate parenthood.
Clinical training
Building Australia’s perinatal mental health workforce is key to ensuring parents have timely access to support. To date, our Gidget Institute has trained 65 clinicians, with 75 more expected to complete training by 2027.
