WHO WE ARE

The Gold Coast Multiple Birth Association (GCMBA) was formed in 1980. A group of Mums with twins first met at the Gold Coast Hospital by the arrangement of Margaret Byrne, who at the time, worked for Community Health. The purpose of this initial meeting was simply to find out how to start a club and Margaret was the guiding force in setting up the Club’s original Constitution.  The first 'Coffee Morning' of the club was subsequently held in September of 1980 at the Labrador Community Centre.  From here, the club’s expansion saw it include members from the southern end of the Gold Coast, where the club also started regular activities.  The members of the club later started home and hospital visits to expectant and new mums of multiples.  The club is now operated by about 10+ volunteers with an executive committee comprising of a President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer.
