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.

Online Webinar - Toilet Training for Multiples
19:30 – 21:30
As we start to come into some warmer weather in the spring, what better time to think about toilet training?!
Join Monica Ferrie from Toilet Training Educators who will teach you how to create the perfect environment for your children to learn this new skill and what tools you need to make this happen.
We will learn and develop skills that provide a solid foundation for evidence based toilet 'training' - it's a skill that must be learned, like eating or walking.
The session will cover:
• the research about toilet training including optimal time to start
• toilet training as a normal skill development process
• how to go about the process of toilet training
• what problems might be encountered along the way and dealing with them
• the difference between a toilet training issue and a continence problem
• continence issues including day wetting, constipation and soiling
• night wetting or bedwetting.
About Monica Ferrie: Monica’s expertise lies in creating environments where people can perform at their best and ensuring they have the skills and tools to make that happen. Understanding how we learn and develop skills provides a solid foundation for evidence based toilet ‘training’ – it’s a skill that must be learned – like eating or walking.
