Have a say

We feel it is essential to hear from our community about what they love about the things we do and where they see opportunities for new things in the future. We’ve opened up a short survey to help support this process. If you have been part of any of our programs, care packages, playgroup, webinar series, special occasion gifts, World Prematurity Day celebrations we would love to hear from you!

Join a Focus Group - EOI Open

Your opportunity to shape meaningful, woman-centred change in maternity care.

The Every Week Counts program will soon conduct two Consumer Focus Groups centring around ‘Gestational Diabetes’ and ‘Pre-eclampsia screening during pregnancy’ and we need your help in spreading the word.

We are seeking interested participants from all over Australia that fall into the following groups:

- People who have experienced gestational diabetes

- People who have experienced pre-eclampsia

- People with a complication free pregnancy.

The meetings will take place online and those selected to participate will receive an honorarium for their time.

We invite anyone interested in participating to complete an Expression of Interest which can be found here: https://everyweekcounts.com.au/get-involved/

These focus groups will provide an opportunity to share perspectives and help shape the direction, design and delivery of initiatives aimed at safely reducing preterm and early term birth.

FROG study – Focused consumer Research priorities to improve Outcomes and Guide care for neonates with surgical conditions

Are you a parent or carer of a child who had major surgery as a newborn (within 1 month of birth), or a person with lived experience with major surgery as a newborn?

Please help us with a short survey. The survey is only open for people living in Australia and will be available until 16th September 2025. Previous work by our team has already identified a longlist of research ideas; now we need your help to select the ones that are the most important so that we can focus our research efforts on those.

The survey takes only 3-5 minutes to complete and is anonymous.

Parents, carers, and people with lived experience, please use this link to access our FROG study:

This will help us to ensure that our research is meaningful and acceptable to all our patients, their families, and clinicians alike. Let us work together to improve the lives of some of our most vulnerable children to give everyone the best chance to have a happy and healthy life.
