This is the H1 title WORK WITH US Gidget Foundation Australia Recruitment Gidget Foundation Australia is a not-for-profit organisation that exists to support the emotional wellbeing of expectant and new parents to ensure they receive timely, appropriate and specialist care. Gidget was the nickname of a vibrant young mother who tragically took her own life while suffering postnatal depression, a diagnosis that she kept to herself.
Together, Gidget's family and friends created Gidget Foundation Australia in her honour. The Foundation evokes Gidget’s warmth and lively spirit and has grown significantly since 2001.
Perinatal depression and anxiety are recognised mental health conditions affecting 1 in 5 mothers and 1 in 10 fathers. They impact around 100,000 Australians each year with maternal suicide being a leading cause of death amongst expectant and new mothers.
