About the Australasian Marcé Society
Website: www.marcesociety.com.au
Welcome to the Australasian Chapter of the Marcé Society, a community committed to advancing mental health support for women and families during pregnancy and the postnatal period in Australia and New Zealand.
Established in 1995 as a reflection of the region's growing dedication to addressing these critical issues, our chapter is an integral part of the global Marcé Society network. We embrace a multidisciplinary approach, providing a vibrant platform for healthcare providers, researchers, and consumers to exchange ideas and knowledge. We are particularly passionate about indigenous childbirth-related mental health, recognizing the unique challenges and opportunities within our communities.
As advocates for greater public awareness and resource allocation, we actively campaign for enhanced support for research and services. Through educational initiatives and engagement with policymakers, we seek to influence positive change and improve outcomes for women and families in our region.
Join us in our mission to promote mental health and well-being during this transformative period of life. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.
