MUMS of the SHIRE

MUMS of the SHIRE Everything for mums, kids and families in the Sutherland Shire area.

The moment you become a mum, there’s a never-ending list of questions – from what hospital to choose to have your baby, what local gyms offer a crèche, recommendations for a good family doctor to what playgrounds are located within a two-minute walk of coffee and what's on this weekend! The Mums of the Shire website aims to provide the answers to these never-ending questions, to make your parenting journey just that little bit easier and a whole lot more fun.

Need help with family law, an AVO or a criminal law matter?
Wallen Family Law now assists with a broader range of legal matters across the Sutherland Shire.

Alongside family law services including separation, divorce, parenting arrangements, property settlements, Consent Orders and financial agreements, the firm can now also assist with:
• AVOs
• Common assault charges
• Domestic violence-related allegations

The local team has also grown, with Principal Solicitor Melody van der Wallen now joined by two law graduates and the firm operating from a Miranda office.
For clients dealing with a difficult family situation, especially where family law and criminal law issues overlap, that means access to broader legal support from one local team.

⏰ 10.30am, 11.15am & 12.15pm
📍 ACO On The Pier, Pier 2/3, 13A Hickson Rd, Dawes Point

Choosing where to give birth is a big decision, and for many mums, private maternity care offers an added layer of comfort, continuity and support 🤍

At Kareena Private Hospital, private maternity care means more than just a private room. It means being cared for by your chosen obstetrician throughout your pregnancy, birth and recovery, along with the reassurance of experienced midwives, postnatal support and extra time to settle in with your new baby.

For many families, it is the personalised care, continuity and calm environment that makes all the difference during such a special and life changing time.

If you are weighing up your birth options, Kareena is well worth a look.

Thinking about solar or a home battery but not quite sure where to start?
Think Renewable installs residential solar and battery systems across the Sutherland Shire, helping local households reduce reliance on the grid and take more control of their energy use.

Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, each system is designed around the individual home, its energy use and what the household is actually hoping to achieve.

Think Renewable has completed more than 10,000 installations nationwide, with co-founders Daniel Tonkin and David Howie both calling the Shire home.

And for Mums of the Shire readers, there’s currently 10% off solar and battery when you book a consultation through this MOTS link -
