The Women for Challenge program provides mothers with the opportunity to:

• Socialise with other mothers, allowing them to share their experiences in a supportive and open manner
• Enjoy "personal time" to re-focus and re-energise

By speaking to mothers, Challenge has identified their needs and provides tailored programs to meet these needs. These simple yet important services include:

Home Help

For parents with a child undergoing treatment, coping with the responsibilities of looking after the home and caring for children both at home and in hospital can be difficult.

Challenge has enlisted the help of an accredited home care service provider to assist families with their simple but timely household tasks, such as the weekly shopping, light domestic cleaning, ironing and meal preparation.

Relaxation Retreats

These weekend escapes are held regularly throughout the year, offering a small group of mums the opportunity to take time-out and indulge themselves in two days of rest and relaxation.

Relaxation and beauty treatments

Our relaxation and beauty treatments offer Challenge mothers therapeutic services including complimentary massages, facials, haircuts and colours, both in private salons and at the Royal Children's Hospital.

Mum's Lunches

Throughout the year we organise complimentary lunches, which aim to bring mums together in a supportive environment where they can feel safe to open up and share their experiences with other women who understand their journey.
