Who we are

Belly, Birth & Beyond Gippsland Incorporated was created with one simple belief: parents thrive best when they feel supported, informed and connected.

We are an incorporated association, not for profit, run by five female business owners who are also parents, proudly living and working in the Gippsland region. Through our own journeys into parenthood, we saw firsthand the importance of having access to trusted local services during preconception, pregnancy, birth, postpartum and early parenthood — and how overwhelming it can be to find the right support.

Our Belly, Birth & Beyond Gippsland Expo brings together a curated group of Gippsland-based businesses and service providers who specialise in supporting families during these life-changing stages. From health and wellbeing to education, products and professional services, our stallholders are deeply connected to the local community and passionate about supporting parents.

At the heart of what we do is connection. We aim to create a welcoming space where parents can discover local support, ask questions, feel seen and build confidence in their journey — all while fostering a strong, supportive community right here in Gippsland.

Belly, Birth & Beyond Gippsland expo is more than an event. It’s a community built on warmth, understanding and the shared experience of parenthood.
