Australian
Breastfeeding Association (ABA) Vic Branch
www.breastfeeding.asn.au
The
Australian Breastfeeding Association (ABA) is an organisation of people
interested in the promotion and protection of breastfeeding. Amongst
these are breastfeeding women and their partners and health
professionals such as doctors, lactation consultants and midwives. ABA
was founded in Melbourne, Victoria in 1964 (as the Nursing Mothers'
Association), with the primary aim of giving mother-to-mother support
to breastfeeding women.
The Association is supported by health authorities and specialists in
infant and child health and nutrition, including a panel of
distinguished honorary advisers. ABA is recognised internationally as a
source of accurate information about breastfeeding management and
research.
With the support of the Lactation Resource Centre (LRC), ABA provides
information to its counsellors and educates the wider community, from
preschools to universities and professional organisations. ABA's
voluntary breastfeeding counsellors are experienced mothers who have
completed an intensive training programme and have successfully
breastfed their own children. They are bound by a code of ethics and
offer their support over the telephone, in person and through a wide
range of literature.

Lactation Consultants' Association (ALCA)
www.alca.asn.au
ALCA is
the only
national, non-profit, incorporated professional association for
Australian International Board Certified Lactation Consultants
(IBCLCs/LCs). Incorporated in 1987, ALCA was the first organisation to
represent Australian IBCLCs. In over a decade, ALCA has made a
significant contribution towards its fundamental goal: the protection,
promotion and support of breastfeeding as the optimal choice for both
infant and maternal health. Australia now has the highest number of LCs
per birth rate of any country in the world.
Lactation Consultants are
allied health professionals who possess the necessary skills, knowledge
and attitudes to facilitate breastfeeding. They offer support and
specialist assistance to mothers who wish to succeed at breastfeeding,
or who have problems that have not been resolved by other health
professionals.
