Parents Who Have Been There has been running since 2008.

We are 100% run by volunteers.  We seek grants and fundraise throughout the year to fund our various support service which include:

- Neonatal Parent Playgroups in the community - southern location (needing hosts to help be there on rotation each week)

- Dinners On Us in the FMC NNU fortnightly on a Fri or Sat night

- Meals On Us - with freezer meals delivered Fridays filling the bar freezer in the unit

- Mother's Day gift bags and morning tea hosting (done a day or so Mother's Day)

- Father's Day gift boxes and Iced Coffee morning tea (done day prior Father's Day)

- Christmas gift bags and morning tea visit (done a day or so prior Christmas Day)

- Food Hamper Bags & Toiletry Packs supplied to FMC NNU to support families

- Family Fun Days for the Neonatal Community

and much much more in terms of supporting staff, training and meeting needs of the units as they arise.

We are ALWAYS looking for others to help support what we do via:

- Donations (see our donations tab)

- Grants applicable to our work

- Businesses to partner with us (if you are such a business, we would be very open to chatting with you)

- Past Neonatal parents coming on board to help with running weekly playgroup with our team, co-hosting events in the unit, baking, helping at fundraising events, etc

We are Adelaide based supporting Neonatal families in Adelaide and surrounds.

If you are able to help with any of the above, please do not hesitate to reach out by emailing

They say it takes a village to raise a child, but sometimes you have to create your own village and that is what we have done with Parents Who Have Been There
