Our Team

Healthy Beginnings was created with parents, for parents. We worked closely with families from diverse cultural backgrounds to design a website that is easy to use, easy to understand and meets the real needs of parents. Families helped shape the website by sharing their experiences, reviewing the content and testing the website every step of the way.

Our team includes researchers, Child and Family Health Nurses, dietitians, health promotion practitioners and paediatric specialists. Together, we ensure the information you find here is trusted, evidence-based and aligned with the latest Australian Government health guidelines.

We would like to thank Tripoli and Mena Association for graciously allowing us to conduct our workshops with parents at their facility. Your support has been invaluable to our project.

We also wish to express our sincere thanks to all the parents who contributed to the development of the Healthy Beginnings website. From the initial design stages through to content revision, your insights and feedback were essential in shaping a resource that truly meets the needs of your community. We could not have achieved this without your support.

We would like to also thank our cultural support workers Dulamsuren Khurelbaatar, Kamal Hadid and Tiba Alhilali for their great work in engaging with their communities and translating the content.
