Perinatal Psychology

Mental Health Support for Pregnancy and Beyond

Are you feeling stressed, anxious, unhappy or finding it difficult to cope?

We're here to support your mental health and well-being as you navigate the challenges of parenthood. You don’t have to face it alone—help is just a step away.
 

Mental health care for mums and dads

OUR MISSION

At Mums Matter™, we believe every parent deserves the chance to prioritise their mental health without financial stress. That’s why we provide accessible, bulk-billed mental health care services for parents across Australia.
 

Parenthood is one of the most rewarding yet challenging roles, and emotional support isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. Prioritising your well-being is not only essential for you but also for your child and the health of future generations. Because when parents are supported, everyone benefits. It’s not just care—it’s what’s Due to You.
