Any parent and their baby is welcome at either session provided they have seen an NDC Practitioner either at our clinic in Brisbane or via online consultation prior to attending.

Each parent will have a chance to raise issues of concern to them and these will be addressed by the Health Professionals, with the rest of the group listening. 

1. Affordability
   Our SMA’s are bulk-billed. (If you haven’t yet registered your baby with Medicare, you will need to pay privately and then reclaim the rebate once the baby is registered.)
2. More time with your Possums Clinic health professionals
   Each client is able to spend more time with the health professionals than is possible in a one-on-one consultation. This is important when you have a small baby, because properly dealing with the issues that arise can be quite time intensive.
3. Support from other mothers in non-judgmental environment
   In an SMA you are able to hear other mothers dealing with issues that may be similar to your own and receive support. Our work at Possums is inclusive and non-judgmental. We aim to have every woman in the group feel accepted and supported regardless of how she feeds her baby, makes sense of her babies’ problems, or approaches parenting

The groups are capped at six mother-baby pairs.

We ask that you phone us 24 hours in advance if you cannot attend, as we have waiting lists. It is ok if things go wrong on the morning and you arrive late, we understand! These appointments attract a late cancellation or no show fee.
