Advocacy & Education

An important service that is offered to parents is one of advocacy. SANDS can advocate on behalf of individual parents if they have an issue they require support or assistance with. SANDS will also advocate on behalf of all bereaved parents if a relevant issue arises.

Issues that SANDS has advocated on behalf of parents –

  • Centrelink recognition of stillborn babies
  • Registration of babies born after 20 weeks
  • Location of burial of a baby

If you have a particular issue that you feel SANDS may be able to assist you with please contact the SANDS office on 07 3254 3422 or sandsqld@powerup.com.au.
