Birth and Family Tree Initiative

birth and family tree

Has your family celebrated the birth of a new child in 2018? Would you like your child’s name to be displayed in a special garden within the Frankston Community? Read on to find out more…

What is the Birth Tree Project?

The Birth Tree Project is supported by the Rotary of Frankston Peninsula 2.0 and it gives families the opportunity to honour this special milestone in a truly unique way. The Birth and Family Tree initiative invites parents to celebrate the birth of their new baby with the Frankston community.

Each year, in conjunction with Frankston City Council one tree is planted to commemorate the births of children in our community. Their names are placed on a plaque at the base of the Birth Tree. The Birth Tree will be planted at Montague Park (Kars St, Frankston), in a specially designed garden space dedicated to the Birth Tree Project. The Birth Tree & Family Garden Projects also supports the Birth Tree Little Library at Montague Park. For more information click here.

How do I register my child’s birth?

Registration for births in 2018 closes in January 2019. The cost is a $50 donation for one newborn which contributes directly to supporting the Frankston Hospital Special Care Nursery. There will be an annual Unveiling Ceremony held on the 17th of March 2019 for families and friends to celebrate the births in 2018. Children will be given a certificate and their very own tree to take home and plant.

Did you know Dry Needling/Accupuncture is available from the Compass Allied Health team, located in our Allied Health Suites

Dry needling is a technique where a very fine needle is gently inserted into tight or painful muscles to release “knots” (trigger points). These tight spots can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced movement.

The goal? It help muscles relax, move better, and feel less painful.

Who can benefit?
• Athletes & active people
• Anyone with tight or stiff muscles
• Desk-related neck or back pain
• Headaches, sciatica, jaw pain (TMJ), or joint issues

Curious if dry needling is right for you? Get in touch with Compass Allied Health to book an initial consult with Jack (Giac).

⭐️ Swimming for a cause: Meet Clinton Hosie ⭐️

This February, PARC Aquatic Access member Clinton Hosie is taking on a new challenge – swimming 14km to raise funds for the Starlight Children’s Foundation as part of their Super Swim.

Every minute of every day, a child in Australia is admitted to hospital. Clinton is diving in to help bring joy, laughter, and comfort to sick kids when they need it most.

We love seeing you at PARC putting in the laps, Clinton – your dedication in and out of the pool is inspiring.

Good luck, have fun, and thank you for swimming for such an important cause!
