Join the Movement with Breastfeeding Friendly Workplace Accreditation!
We recognise the importance of supporting both professional careers and family life. Our accreditation program empowers organisations to become advocates for breastfeeding employees, fostering a culture of inclusivity, support, and wellbeing.
Designed and developed for organisations and businesses, our goal is to remove the workplace as a barrier to breastfeeding. Let's support working mums and foster a welcoming workplace together!
