Parents of more than 600,000 babies born across NSW have benefited from receiving the popular Baby Bundle, a package given to them following the birth of their child.
The NSW Government Baby Bundle is provided to every baby born in NSW and contains essential items for new parents to support their baby’s health and development.
Since the Baby Bundle initiative began in January 2019, more than 600,000 have been provided to families in public and private hospitals across NSW, or directly to homes for NSW babies born at home or interstate.
Valued at $329, the Baby Bundle has been updated with new products, important information, and educational resources to support parents as they begin their exciting journey.
The Baby Bundle includes a sleeping bag, change mat, muslin wrap, two books, bath book, first aid kit, baby hat, breast pads, baby toothbrush, and a selection of NSW Health printed resources that complement the Blue Book.
The new Bundles have been distributed to hospitals across NSW from mid-November 2025.
The majority of suppliers are small and medium Australian-owned businesses, and all products meet Australian product safety standards.
The Baby Bundle is part of the NSW Government’s $157 million parenting package, including more midwives and child and family health nurses, investment in testing and treatments for children’s diseases, and practical and emotional support to parents.
Minister for Health Ryan Park:
“The first 2000 days of a child’s life are the most important to set them up for success. The Baby Bundle is a valuable resource that ensures parents have what they need from the very beginning.
“More than 600,000 new parents have already received the much-loved Baby Bundles since the initiative launched in 2019.
“We know there are many expenses when a new baby comes along, so this Bundle is our way of supporting families during a special time by helping to alleviate some cost pressures.”
Maria Bulmer, Divisional Director of Women’s and Children’s Health at St George Hospital:
“The updated Bundle will include new additions to help parents as they start their exciting journey, including a nursery rhyme book, bath book and baby hat for the first time.
“The Baby Bundle pack gives parents the information and support tools they need to ensure they are providing the most optimal care to support effective child development.”
Tennille Lockhorst, a Registered Midwife at St George Hospital who recently had her baby boy, Killian at St George:
“As a new mum and a midwife, I have experienced first hand the value of these Baby Bundles, which are lifesavers for young families.
“Any new parent will tell you that a lot of resources are required to raise a child, and this new Baby Bundle is a big help.”
