I’m new here at Coal Coast Baby, I am extremely passionate about providing all the information available in the Illawarra to give you choice. Choice allows you to make the right decisions for you and your family. I’m very excited to bring to you a snapshot of what the Coal Coast has to offer new parents raising a family. I hope as the Coal Coast Baby Guide continues to grow; we can bring to you more of what there is on offer from Helensburgh to Kiama.

As you embark on the decision-making process of parenthood, have a deeper appreciation for your intuition, trust your gut and base your decisions on informed knowledge. Only then can you truly make the best decisions for you, your family, and your lifestyle.
