Support for parents of twins and multiples in Melbourne

NIMBA (Northern and Inner Multiple Birth Association Inc) is a group of families who have all had multiple births and live in the northern and inner suburbs of Melbourne, Naarm. We provide information, practical advice and support to families of multiples.

When you join NIMBA, you and your family will have the opportunity to form friendships and share the joy and challenges of raising twins, triplets or more.
NIMBA was founded in November 1987. NIMBA is a not-for-profit, volunteer run organisation. Our organisation is inclusive and provides opportunities and practical support for families with twins and triplets.  
 
Joining NIMBA for a small annual fee gives you access to the activities, support and resources. In addition, you are automatically granted membership to the national body, the Australian Multiple Birth Association.

The Nimba community acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woiwurrung as the Traditional Owners of the lands and waters on which our current members reside, and pays respect to their Elders past and present.

For more than 60,000 years, Wurundjeri families raised their children on this Country, building the kind of community that makes that possible. Among those children, across countless generations, were twins and multiples – and long before NIMBA existed, this Country already knew what it means to build a village around a family raising more than one child at once.

We are a small part of a very long story of community care. We are grateful to gather on this Country, and to carry that tradition forward in our own way.
