About Gidget Foundation Australia
Gidget Foundation Australia is a national not-for-profit dedicated to supporting the emotional wellbeing of expectant, new and potential parents. We provide free psychological counselling, group programs, and peer support to those experiencing perinatal depression and anxiety. Our mission is to ensure that every parent receives timely, appropriate, and specialist care.
Join our event volunteer team!
Gidget Foundation Gala is a very special event as we celebrate our 25th anniversary, on the day of Gidget’s actual birthday.
This milestone gala will mark 25 years of supporting parents and families through perinatal mental health challenges, while bringing together our supporters, partners and community to reflect on how far we’ve come and look ahead to the future. It promises to be a meaningful and memorable evening.
Volunteers play a huge role in making the night run smoothly - and it’s also a fun, rewarding way to be part of one of our flagship events and this important anniversary celebration.
