Generation West

We're advocating to support investment in Melbourne’s West to give every child the opportunity to thrive they deserve.

[Generation West @generation_west]

Welcome to Generation West! We're a community run campaign supporting our kids in Melbourne West - because they deserve the chance to thrive! Check out our website for more information, and join us today so we can get the services we need! #generationwest https://t.co/ct1vNyna9B

[Generation West @generation_west]

It's the final showdown for #VicVotes2018 tomorrow so make sure you're voting for our #children and to #standwithcommunityhealth. There are many vulnerable families missing out in #MelbsWest and we need a government who will step up.

[Generation West @generation_west]

It's clear @TweddleAus make a big difference to families here in #MelbsWest. We're pleased to see @DanielAndrewsMP supporting our families by investing in a Centre for Parenting Excellence. Hoping for more announcements ahead of #VicVotes2018

[Tweddle Australia @TweddleAus]

A message from a Tweddle mum. Let us know if we can help your family.

[Generation West @generation_west]

With less than a week until #VicVotes @DanielAndrewsMP has announced some fantastic new resources for #parents in #MelbsWest. But we know there is still more to be done. Share your story and let us know what health services need improvement in the West.

[Generation West @generation_west]

Our pressure is paying off! With less than a week until #VicVotes @DanielAndrewsMP has announced $33.7 million in funding to support first-time #parents getting greater access to postnatal support groups and more time with their #newborns.

[Dan Andrews @DanielAndrewsMP]

There aren’t many things as overwhelming as becoming a parent for the first time. You just want to do the right thing. That’s why a re-elected Labor Government will provide free Baby Bundles with essential products and information to new parents. #vicvotes #springst

[LeadWest @LeadWest_]

Great outcome for @TweddleAus and the families and kids in fast growing #MelbsWest @generation_west

[Generation West @generation_west]

Less than one week until #VicVotes! We need @DanielAndrewsMP and @MatthewGuyMP to step up and provide #families in #MelbsWest with the health and social support services they need NOW.

[Generation West @generation_west]

There are 250 #babies born each week in #MelbsWest. Health and social support services can't keep up with growing demand and families are falling through the cracks. @JennyMikakos @DanielAndrewsMP @MatthewGuyMP we need action now! #VicVotes

[Generation West @generation_west]

We’ve made a shortlist of the best things #parents can do to build their #baby’s brain during the first #1000days. It shows exactly why we need better investment in health and social support services in #MelbsWest so families can get the help they need. https://t.co/qPNbW26TQb

[Generation West @generation_west]

Less than two weeks until #VicVotes for the future of our state and our #children! Time to remind @MatthewGuyMP and @DanielAndrewsMP to step up and support struggling families in #MelbsWest.

[Generation West @generation_west]

We know #families in #MelbournesWest are missing out - but we want you to tell us what you think we’re missing out on. Is it GPs, hospitals, community centres, or something else? Let us know in the comments below!

[Generation West @generation_west]

Another reason why the #first1000days are so important: according to the University of Helsinki, #babies learn the small building blocks of language while they are still in the womb. Read more here: https://t.co/YZWMHc4Ebr

[Generation West @generation_west]

#Babies enjoy life: on average they laugh 300 times a day! We want to keep our kids laughing by making sure every child in #MelbsWest gets the best chance to thrive. RT if you agree.

[Generation West @generation_west]

Did you know that 80% of #babies are born with a birthmark? Some #birthmarks don't occur until several days or weeks after birth and some birthmarks go away after a few years! #FactOfTheDay

[Generation West @generation_west]

It's only one month until #VicVotes. We've joined with @cohealth_au to demand action regarding the #healthcare crisis facing the most vulnerable families in #MelbsWest. Read more here: https://t.co/6PDUZ4stU7

[Generation West @generation_west]

Here at #GenerationWest we get a lot of questions about why the first 1000 days of life are so important for our #baby's development. If you were wondering about this too, we've broken it down for you here: https://t.co/2qOXBKZS5b

[Generation West @generation_west]

It’s less than 1 month until #VicVotes. #GenerationWest and The Caroline Chisholm Society are calling on @VictorianLabor and @LiberalVictoria to develop a Perinatal #MentalHealth Plan for new #families in Victoria ahead of our state election. https://t.co/NjZUK7wKqi

[Generation West @generation_west]

It’s amazing to think the population in #MelbsWest will be 1.8. million by 2050! Melbourne’s next generation is being born here and we need our #government to invest in our families NOW. Rt if you agree.

[Generation West @generation_west]

#MelbournesWest has a population bigger than Canberra and we’re still growing! Right now we don’t have the resources we need to support our growing communities, but luckily #GenerationWest has a plan. Read more here: https://t.co/FDRrn3nVau

[Generation West @generation_west]

#Babies need positive and supportive experiences early in life to help their brains grow and here in #MelbournesWest we need the resources to help them do it. Read more here: https://t.co/FDRrn3nVau
