Welcome to The Still Nest
Supporting multicultural families through pregnancy loss, infant loss, infertility, birth trauma, and the transition to parenthood through evidence-informed, culturally safe, and inclusive care.
Who we are
Led by lived and living experience.
Culturally responsive. Person-centred.
Family-inclusive. Partners, fathers, siblings, grandparents, and community.
Our difference: we centre the whole person. Culture, faith, family, and what systems too often miss. Not as an add-on.
As the starting point.

The Still Nest Podcast
Hosted by Dr Fatima El-Assaad, a medical researcher and a bereaved parent, this podcast explores infertility, pregnancy loss, baby loss and birth trauma in culturally, linguistically and faith diverse communities.
SEASON 1
This season offers a powerful taste of the experiences of Australian culturally diverse bereaved mothers who identify with the Islamic faith and insights from professionals working with them.
Would You Like to Contribute to the Community and Share your Story?
This project developed from the need to hear diverse stories about baby loss and birth trauma. We have several productions underway, including producing the second season of The Still Nest Podcast.

We would be grateful for your contribution.
