About Motherland
Motherland is a national charity that connects rural mothers across Australia. It takes a village to raise a child, but living rurally means many are isolated during their motherhood journey.
Motherland Village is Australia’s first online mother’s group program for rural mums with children aged 0-18 years. Join a small, private group of up to 10 rural women in a 6-week online program, led by a trained facilitator. Alongside your group, you’ll also gain access to expert-led content on matrescence, the mental load, self-love, parenting, and building more empathetic relationships. It takes a village. Find yours.
Scholarships are available for rural mums to access the program at no cost.
Through the Motherland podcast, Motherland Village, Scholarship Fund, Motherland Connect platform, online support network, fundraising events, and advocacy, we have become the voice and village that rural mums desperately needed but didn’t have, until Motherland.

Why Would a Baby Need to See a Chiropractor?
Gentle care, big impact — what infant chiropractic is really about When people hear the words “chiropractor” and “baby” in the same sentence, it can raise eyebrows — and fair enough. At Nomad Chiropractic, we don’t “crack” newborns or treat them like tiny adults. In fact, our work with babies is one of the gentlest and most intuitive things we do.
