The Rainbow Families Antenatal Class is Australia’s first LGBITQA+ specific antenatal class.

Run quarterly, it is perfect for LGBTIQA+ parents and carers expecting a baby in the next few months.

The Rainbow Families antenatal class is an LGTBIQA+ focused, inclusive, parenting education class.

The first half of the day is dedicated to the birth process, and is aimed at people who will be in the birth suite.

After lunch the class opens up to all expectant parents and carers, with important information on postnatal care, and what to do when you get home with your baby.
