The Baby Bundle is given to parents and caregivers of every baby born in a NSW hospital. The Baby Bundle bag is filled with useful products to help you and your baby get off to a good start when you arrive home. You will receive the Baby Bundle before your discharge from hospital. If your baby wasn’t born in a hospital, you will receive it once they are registered with NSW Births, Deaths and Marriages.

The Baby Bundle is given to all parents who live in NSW and their baby was born after 1 January 2019.
