Welcome to Baby Coming You Ready?

Baby Coming You Ready? (BCYR) is a digital platform that has ‘cracked the code’ to overcome communication barriers between Aboriginal women and their health care provider during pregnancy and after baby arrives.

Designed by Aboriginal community and Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal professionals, it provides ‘wrap-around’ solutions to the many barriers impacting trusting engagement, effective assessment, routine screens and effective woman-centered care.

Baby Coming You Ready centres web-based ‘app’ using touch screen images and Aboriginal voices overs. These guide both users through an engaging, culturally-safe ‘yarn’  that supports women to reflect on their strengths and worries and create their own solutions.
