CPEA MEMBER BENEFITS

1. Attendance to 21 Mums, Bubs and Toddler Coffee Mornings

The CPEA Mums, Bubs and Toddler Coffee Mornings are organised by volunteer Mums with young children and provide a relaxed and informal environment where mothers can improve their parenting knowledge, feel comfortable to share their experiences, have their questions answered and meet new friends.

Each morning features a guest speaker with a topic of interest to help improve your parenting, pregnancy or childbirth knowledge.  Following each speaker, we enjoy morning tea and the opportunity to meet and chat with other parents in a friendly environment. Local and out of town Mums (and Dads) with children under five and pregnant women are very welcome. 

2. Six Issues of the CPEA Magazine “Family Matters”

Family Matters is delivered directly to
your door every two months and includes:
- pregnancy diaries and birth stories from
            local mothers,
- book reviews,
- articles written by midwives, and
- articles about parenting by local
            professionals.

3. Use of CPEA’s Book. Video and Magazine Library

CPEA’s Library offers over 250 book and video titles, as well as back-dated issues of the popular publication, “Parenting Magazine”.  Our Library is user friendly and a fast and efficient way to borrow reading and visual materials on birth and parenting topics.  Out of town members are entitled to receive three items by mail a year free.
