Defence Families Maitland

Defence Families Maitland

We are an informal group of defence spouses located in the Maitland area, in suburbs such as East Maitland, Ashtonfield and Thornton.

All of us know how hard it is to have no family support nearby and to find good GP's, daycare, schools, shopping, etc in a new posting.

Our aim is to provide a support network for defence families in the area through regular meet-ups, dinners, and other social events.

Our members consist of those with young children, those with school aged children and ladies who work or study. Those without children are particularly welcome as it can be sometimes hard to make social contacts in a new posting straight away. So we cater for everyone.

We have regular fortnightly morning teas hosted by our members at their homes or local cafes. We also have regular lunches at local pubs and dinner & drinks out every few months. ...read more
