Building a Community of Care

A Community of Care provides connections for Mums, Dads, babies and families and is especially important in the peri-natal, pregnancy and post-natal periods.

Looking after yourself and your baby and being connected to your family and community can help to maintain good mental health, and increase feelings of wellbeing, self-worth, and a sense of belonging.

We are seeking your feedback about what information you need to build your community of care, to have good mental health and find the right services and supports for you and your family.


Who should complete the survey?

This survey is for women within Western NSW Local Health District who have been planning a pregnancy, have been pregnant, are pregnant or have had a baby within the last 12 months.


What we want to know

We are seeking your feedback on the information you received, learned about or wished you knew during your journey from pre-pregnancy to post-birth. This could include information on social supports, well-being, health care, mental health, spiritual and community supports or services.


How we will use your feedback

Your feedback will be used to co-design a resource for women to help build their Community of Care.

You are welcome to complete all or some of the survey sections. We value any feedback you can provide.

This survey should take 15 minutes to complete.
