JOIN THE MISCARRIAGE REBELLION

Pink Elephants believe everyone deserves support following the loss of their baby.

We have been providing support to many ten's of thousands of people for nearly 8 years, raising funds through generous donors. We now need ongoing Government support to empower our circle of support.

We are calling on the Government to provide us with $1.6million over 4 years to help bridge the gap. Sign our petition.

Early pregnancy loss is not just a private grief, but a national issue that requires collective empathy, awareness, and action. By recognising and addressing this, we can make meaningful change in the lives of 100,000+ women who experience early pregnancy loss every year.
