Welcome
Thank you for visiting the Australian Prenatal Diagnosis Support group.
The Australian Prenatal Diagnosis Support site strives to bring hope and support to families who have or are experiencing pregnancy and child loss, a fetal diagnosis of their unborn baby or the parenting of a child with a disability.
We provide support for families and strongly believe that we provide adequate services for those who have or are receiving a diagnosis of their unborn baby or newborn as having walked in their shoes and committed to educate the community on the implications of having a child that has a condition or a fatal illness. We offer a complete online community where all parents can access support 24/24 as well as weekly meetings. We strive to understand and assist parents going through the birth of their special child, or its loss.
My daughter Talina's story can be found in "the stories" section of this web site or here
Anyone wishing to become a volunteer is encouraged. No minimum hours or job!
Let's celebrate together the special lives of our children.
