Mum Walk

Hello - welcome to Mum Walk

Free weekly walks to find your mum mates, get fresh air and have fun!

We’re back in the news🗞️ ! This time to talk about the TWO bodies of research Mum Walk has either led on or contributed to this year 💪

We’ve not yet had a response from the Labor Government on our report - or how they plan to solve the escalating motherhood loneliness crisis. I’m really hoping our voices are heard soon 👂🏻📣 Rebecca White
Mark Butler MP Tim Richardson MP Victorian Department of Health

Because as this article ends - we now know that this is a problem. What we need to start talking about is how we solve it!

Mum Walk has already been building the solution one step at a time - but there’s only so far grassroots movement can take it. We need real investment to switch on national infrastructure to support more mums.

Greatful to media organisations and health corporations like Women's Agenda and medibank leading the way in amplifying this pressing public health priority ❤️

Our first Impact Report has just dropped and WHAT A YEAR 💪😲💖👏

As a charity every year we’re required to report back on our impact. The results: Mum Walk is doing exactly what we set out to do - reduce isolation, build connection and improve the mental health outcomes of mums.

None of this has been easy or effortless - advocating for the social infrastructure mothers deserve and building a free service into existence is the challenge of my career -
but these results and feedback make certain that Mum Walk deserves a place at the centre of our maternal health system, not on the margins of it.

Our vision for next year is to unlock more organisational capacity to support mums more deeply. To have the resources to work with them more closely on how to build sustainable communities.

None of this would be possible without our amazing partners the memo as well as medibank 🫶

And to every person in this community who has powered us to get this far - thank you 🥹

Mum Walk | Where Motherhood Finds Its Stride was started because of the belief that when women and mothers gather - magic happens ⚡️

Our report launch with the memo was exactly that. Cross sectors experts in mental health, lived experience mothers, nurses within the system and people with powerful platforms all coming together to have the deeper discussions around motherhood.

How loneliness, isolation and disconnection shows up in our homes, at work, or with our care teams - we can see gaps in the system that need to be filled.

But there were so many positive stories of when connection, community and care teams work! ❤️

Thank you to everyone in the room.

We’ve taken your voice to the streets! 📣👀

When we listened to the stories and statistics from our community - we knew we had to turn the volume up on the issue of maternal loneliness.

The scale of loneliness is massive - but the depth of it was more shocking. Too many mums are experiencing levels of loneliness and isolation that we know impacts their mental wellbeing 🧠🚨

We can’t let motherhood become the loneliest job in Australia❌!

That’s why Mum Walk is calling on Health Minister Mark Butler MP and Assistant Minister Rebecca White to fill the connection gap.

Maternal loneliness is a crisis that can’t wait - sign the petition today to help us make sure that no mum has to walk through motherhood alone.

I had no idea that parents are power users of AI 😱🧠

But I’m not surprised. No matter what your position is on the use of AI and its various consequences - one I will stand firm on is that it cannot replace human connection.

But if we let it - it just might 💔

So text more mum mates, ask for help, send unhinged voice notes at 3am ❤️

The Mum Walk Monthly Drop is here ✨🙌💖

The seasons are changing - but our Mum Walks keep strollin (or meeting at cosy coffee shops instead!)

Our Victoria and South Australia walks have been a little wet ☔️
Our Queensland and WA walks are in their prime with the cool change 😎
Our Northern Territory walks continue to sparkle (just look at those palms 🌴!)
Our Tassie mums walk no matter the weather 💪
And our NSW walks are a bit of a mix of them all 😅☀️🌧️

We love to see how our groups change and evolve over the seasons to meet the needs of their communities 💖

If you’ve been waiting on a sign to join your local Mum Walk - this is it! Just look at all those smiling mums ☺️

The results are in: motherhood increases our leadership capabilities 💪🚨📈

I feel like whenever we talk about mothers at work, it’s always the same conversation around what workplaces lose. How hard it is to balance for mums. And how at odds career and motherhood can be.

But what if we talked about all the ways that becoming a mum increases the very skills we need to thrive at work?

That’s what the 2026 Maternal Strengths Report from and .starks set out to explore.

They surveyed 354 working mothers and asked them to reflect on their leadership capabilities before and after becoming mothers.

The findings? Every. Single. Capability. Measured. Went. Up.

I digested the federal budget incase you’re a tired mum who doesn’t have the time! 🥱💸🥱💸

I’m always looking for the ways our Government is and isn’t investing in women, families, mothers and mental health. There’s some clear wins in there, but some critical gaps still left to fill.

What’s your take? Is the Government doing enough to support your family?

- Mum Walk wants to see more focus on social health and filling the critical gaps in postpartum connection to prevent more mums reaching crisis point.

What a week🥹🥹🥹

And this is just a tiny snapshot - there’s so many more moments of connection big and small that aren’t captured here.

This is what happens when you give mums the tools they need to build communities ❤️

Mum Walk is about so much more than a walk in the park. It’s about supporting mums to meet, connect and enjoy motherhood together.
