Our Partners: Essential Supporters in Empowerment

At The Babes Project, we understand the profound impact of collaboration in our mission to empower pregnant women experiencing vulnerability and challenging circumstances, new mothers, and their families. We are fortunate to have a dedicated network of partners who share our passion and commitment to creating positive change in the community.

Our partners play a crucial role in supporting our initiatives, ensuring that no woman in need misses out on the vital services and support she deserves. Their expertise, resources, and unwavering backing allow us to expand our reach and enhance our programs, making a tangible difference in the lives of those we serve.

We deeply appreciate the commitment and collaboration of our partners, whose belief in our mission inspires us to dream bigger and strive harder for the families we support.

Tooshies have had our back since 2018 and we share a lot of similarities.

Both Tooshies and The Babes Project were started by empowered women eager to make a positive impact on the world and we both believe in the importance of supporting and empowering women across Australia.

Since partnering with Tooshies they have donated a portion of their profits to support our work and provided their planet friendly nappies and wipes for all our Babes mamas.

Tooshies has helped us spread our message and witnessed the impact The Babes Project has made first hand. Their ongoing support has helped us reach many of our goals and we are so fortunate to have Tooshies on our team. You can read about our partnership with Tooshies here

They say a picture tells a thousand words, thankfully The Babes Project has Photographer Miranda Mayle on hand to capture our priceless babes moments.

For the past four years Miranda has helped in capturing the moving stories from women in our community that otherwise might not have been seen or heard. She has captured our biggest achievements, and helped us create impactful campaigns - she just gets us.

Miranda understands the importance of our work and what capturing these photos means to not only us but the women we work with too. It has been so wonderful to have Miranda by our side, growing with us as we know our dreams, team and women are safe in her hands.

Providing us with pro-bono legal support since 2016, Gadens lawyers (In both Victoria and Queensland) understand the importance of caring for at-risk communities, including vulnerable women and families.

Having someone to go to for specialised advice and guidance is vital for us, just like it is for our women when they visit The Babes Project.

Gaden's believe in The Babes Project and the impact we have on reducing the gap in perinatal services and our shared passion for giving back to the community makes a powerful partnership.

With a heart to empower vulnerable people to transform their lives, the Payton Foundation has been partnering with us since 2017.

Through a long-standing relationship, the team at Payton have generously provided regular financial and governance support and accounting expertise to The Babes Project, as they value the impact our work has had on the lives of young women in Australia.
