Exclusive Member Discount Announcement 

We are beyond thrilled to have partnered with Ready Steady Go Kids Tasmania to offer a generous discount to TasMBA families! Ready Steady Go is a fun filled sports program for kids aged 18months to 6 years old with locations in Kingston, Moonah and New Norfolk.

25% off weekday classes or 10% weekend classes 

This discount can be used for multiples or siblings, and as this term has already commenced, you can also try out their classes and continue the term at a pro-rata and discounted rate!

A full term is around $150 per child, so 25% off is saving you $37.50 per child (yes, that's right, a saving of $75 per term for twins!)... TasMBA membership is only $35 per family so it's an easy savings!

Offer is available to current TasMBA members (on either membership level). All you need to do is email janelle with a screenshot of your current TasMBA membership (from our membership portal in TidyHQ) letting her know you'd like to access the discount and she will take care of a discounted rate.

 

AMBA National Convention

A few of our committee members had the pleasure of attending the annual Australian Multiple Birth Association (AMBA) Convention in late 2024. It was a lovely way to celebrate 50 years of AMBA’s service. It was also an opportunity for our members to connect and learn from other active clubs around the country. We look forward to bringing these new ideas and better ways to support Tasmanian multiple birth families. We were so proud to see our President, Rachel Callen win anAMBA Appreciation Award for her Local Individuak contribution.

 

ZANZO Wombmates Project

We’re exploring the different relationships and expressions, the similarities and differences, and the unique personalities that make up the community of Tasmanian twins.

So, we’re looking for a bunch of awesome ‘multiples’ (aka Wombmates) to be photographed here at the Zanzo Studio in Hobart (or at your place) to feature in our new book ‘Wombmates’.

All ages, shapes and sizes are welcome to apply!

You’ll find more details in the link below.

2. Membership: Growing and engaging our multiple membership base.

3. Fundraising: Creating and managing exciting fundraising opportunities. (Grant Applications, Sourcing Donations, Discounts and fundraising initiatives etc)

4. Communications: Enhancing our presence and connecting with our community. (Social Media, Website, Newsletters, PR etc.) 

There is a Lead position who is responsible for each theme, with additional Committee Members and volunteers who also work in that theme. There will also be standard constitutional committee roles available. See details in infogrpahic below.
