The Parenting Today survey results reflect the data we receive from our Parenting Line - parents want to do their best, but need support to get there. Thankfully, 83% of parents say parenting is rewarding - wouldn't it be great for that to be 100%! Some things that stood out to us:
🧠 45% of parents experience moderate psychological distress
😥 47% worry they aren't as good a parent as they should be
💤49% say tiredness gets in the way of being the parent they would like to be
We're looking forward to all the analysis, but if you're one of the parents who needs help, don't forget you can call our free Parenting Line as many times as you like for any reason...we're here to listen.

Today marks the start of Infant Mental Health Awareness Week. Research shows it's never too early to nurture your baby’s emotional wellbeing.
Even in the earliest months, babies are developing their own unique personalities, needs and ways of communicating. And just like us, they can have off days too!
In this clip from our podcast, Registered Psychologist Darya shares a reassuring message for parents: “Sometimes babies also just have a day… and it’s not you, and you haven’t done anything wrong.”
If you’ve ever worried about your child or felt unsure, you’re not alone, and support is available.
Ngala offers a range of free services to support West Australian families. You can speak to our team for guidance on 08 9368 9368, or visit:

You can also learn more by listening to our Parenting With Ngala episodes featuring Darya, which explore social and emotional development in babies under 12 months, and gain practical insights to support your little one.

The Ngalang Moort Ngalang Kurlangah team came together yesterday for a National Reconciliation Week breakfast at Arbor Grove Child and Parent Centre, celebrating community, culture and connection.
They were honoured to welcome Mayor Tanya Richardson from the City of Swan, who spent time with staff, families and children, sharing in the spirit of the theme, "All in for Reconciliation."
Families also visited the Thread Together van, where they could access brand-new clothing free of charge. This generous service was greatly appreciated and provided practical support to many families in our community.
It was wonderful to see strong attendance from dads, mums, grandparents and carers, while the children enjoyed face painting and sensory play.
The breakfast brought together families from a wide range of multicultural backgrounds, creating a welcoming space where people could connect, share stories, and celebrate the importance of reconciliation together.

This National Reconciliation Week, staff across all sites have been coming together to reflect, learn and engage in the journey of reconciliation, with both in-person and online participation throughout the week.
Our Aboriginal Advisory Group, Board, and staff representatives attended the National Reconciliation Week Breakfast in Boorloo, with many of our team tuning in online. The morning included an amazing breakfast followed by empowering speeches and powerful truth-telling, highlighting the importance of connection, understanding and walking together. The team was especially inspired by Narelda Jacobs, whose words left a lasting impact.
Staff also attended the Aboriginal Veterans Service “We Will Remember Them” event in recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander veterans and their service to our country. It was a meaningful and moving event filled with reflection, respect and remembrance. A very special moment was witnessing one of our team members lay a wreath in honour of her grandfather, paying tribute to his service and legacy.
Our team also attended a Sorry Day event hosted by Yokai Healing Our Spirit and Bringing Them Home, including a Welcome to Country, Smoking Ceremony and a moment of silence at the Stolen Generations Memorial.
This year’s theme, “All In for Reconciliation,” reminds us that reconciliation is everyone’s responsibility and meaningful change happens when we all come together and play our part.
Tomorrow marks the start of National Reconciliation Week, a time for all Australians to reflect, learn and take action towards a more united future, grounded in respect, understanding and our shared histories.
Today, we also recognise National Sorry Day and acknowledge the ongoing impact of forced removal on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, families and communities.
At Ngala, our Ngalang Moort Ngalang Kurlangah program supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families with young children aged 0 to 4 years, creating culturally safe spaces where children can play, learn and thrive.
Delivered by Aboriginal staff for families in the City of Swan, the program also offers workshops, home visits and connections to other services.
In this video, our team member Mystique shares what reconciliation means to her and how Ngalang Moort Ngalang Kurlangah will be recognising the week with children and families in their playgroups.
We will also be sharing more updates throughout the week on other events and activities we are proud to be part of.

How good does our new Acknowledgement of Country artwork look?
We worked with Nani Creative and their talented local artists, with cultural input from our internal Aboriginal Advisory Group, to create this bespoke piece of art that helps explain the meaning of Ngala in a contemporary and eye-catching way.
We're proud of it, and proud of the steps we are taking to make our spaces culturally safe and welcoming for all families.
Developed by Nani Creative in collaboration with Ngala and First Nations artists Kieron Pearce (Menang/Noongar) and Kevin Wilson (Wongutha).
How comfortable do you feel sitting with your baby’s emotions?
In today's episode of Parenting With Ngala, Carol, a Ngala Child Health Nurse, and the team explore how our own experiences growing up can shape the way we respond to our baby’s feelings.

For personalised parenting support, our team is here to help. Call the Ngala Parenting Line on 9368 9368, 8am–8pm, 7 days a week.
