Invest in the Future of Children: Donate Today
Invest in the Future of our Children by Supporting their Parents Today.
Right now, the cost of living crisis is pushing families to the edge.
Parents are doing their best to stay afloat - managing rising expenses, holding emotional loads, and trying to be everything for their children, often while silently struggling themselves.
But here’s the truth: many parents are at breaking point.
At Villagehood Australia, we have always believed the best way to support a child is to support the people raising them.
Over the past five years, we have wrapped our arms around thousands of mothers, offering culturally safe, peer-led mental health support that helps them feel seen, held, and never alone. Our programs have always been free and accessible because mental health care should be a right, not a privilege. We began our mission by focusing on supporting the primary carer first - the mother - knowing that meaningful change starts with her wellbeing.
Now, building on our success and impact, and with the strength of our team and board behind us, we are ready for what comes next.
The next five years are about transformation and we want you to be part of it.
We are launching a bold, evidence-informed and peer-powered model that includes not only mothers, but fathers, partners, grandparents, and carers - the entire village that surrounds a child.
We are not just asking for donations.
We are asking you to invest in a future where:
💙 Parents receive support before crisis hits
💙 Mental health care is free, culturally responsive, and easy to access
💙 Peer-led models complement clinical services nationwide
💙 No one in the early years is left behind
Whether it is $30 or $3,000, your gift helps us expand our reach and impact and keep our programs free and available to the families who need them most, when they need them most.
For large donations, please contact Dinah directly at dinah@villagehoodaustralia.com
Being a registered Australian charity, all donations over $2 are tax-deductible. This means that your generosity can positively impact the lives of Australian families while potentially reducing your taxable income.
Your support today helps shape a future where Australian families feel seen, supported, and held throughout their parenting journey.

At Villagehood Australia, we believe that evidence-based programs can make a significant difference in the mental wellbeing of mothers and children. Peer support can prevent and treat postnatal depression, and we are committed to making our programs accessible to as many families as possible. To achieve this, we offer our main programs for free and rely on strong partners to help us continue delivering them.
