Miracle Babies Appeal

Miracle Babies Foundation is a national organisation that supports premature and sick newborns, their families and the hospitals that care for them.

Every year in Australia around 42,000 newborn babies require the help of a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) or Special Care Nursery (SCN). 23,000 of these babies are born premature and up to 1000 babies lose their fight for life.

The birth of a premature or sick newborn can be an overwhelming and traumatic experience for families. Their lives are permanently changed, significantly influenced by their NICU experience.

Miracle Babies Foundation is dedicated to positively supporting this experience through:

• Our NurtureProgram - a complete support service offered to families during their journey through a Newborn Intensive Care Unit, or Special Care Nursery, the transition to home and onwards.
• National Online Resources
• Equipment, Resources and Education for NICU Health Professionals
• Community Awareness Programs

Miracle Babies Foundation was established in 2005 by mothers of premature and sick newborns. All dedicated to sharing their strength and knowledge in helping families celebrate and honour their own miracle babies and give back to the hospitals that care for them.
