This Mother’s Day, we want to celebrate YOU — the mums powering the NEW1000 study.
Your insights, your experiences, and your willingness to be part of this research are helping us understand early childhood in ways that will benefit families for generations.
Your contribution is more than data. It’s leadership. It’s advocacy. It’s shaping the future of maternal and child health in Australia. Thank you for being part of this important work, and we hope today brings you a moment of rest, joy, and recognition.

Wishing everyone a happy new year!

To start off 2026, our Scientific Director Professor Craig Pennell would like to extend a very heartfelt thank you to all the wonderful families who have been involved with the NEW1000 Study.

We are so grateful for your ongoing time and commitment to our study and helping us to collect the vital information we need to understand the importance of first thousand days of life in shaping our health.

We’re moving into an exciting phase of our study, where many of the “babies” involved with NEW1000 are now toddlers! Our clinic has been filled with energy, curiosity, and laughter during their 3-year follow-up appointments.

If you haven’t heard from us regarding our research surveys or 3-year follow ups, please reach out to us!
