2023 Bake for Babies

ACT & Region

The Newborn Intensive Care Foundation (NICF) is urging people from the Canberra region to take the bake challenge to raise funds to purchase a live video streaming system for the Canberra neonatal and special care nursery called Angel Eye. This will replace the aging NICUcam for which technical support ceased in November 2022. Research has shown that if a mum can see a live streaming of her baby in the NICU or SCN, she has reduced separation anxiety, feels more comfortable spending time with her other children and finds it easier to express. 

Central Gippsland

We are raising money to fund 10 Wellington Sofa beds for the Maternity Unit at Sale Hospital. These sofa beds will enable a partner of a mum to stay the night to support the mum at a time that can be quite stressful.

East Gippsland

We will be raising money for a fourth Neocot for Bairnsdale Hospital’s Maternity Unit.

To raise the funds needed, the NICF will officially run Bake for Babies 2023 from 1 June to 31 August with a policy of money raised in a region stays in the region. 

You can bake whatever you like – scones, cakes, pizzas, muffins, biscuits, a slice, whatever, and sell to friends, family or colleagues and then deposit the proceeds into the NICF Bake for Babies account. If you are like many and your scones turn out more like ANZAC biscuits, maybe people will sponsor you not to bake. The concept is as broad as you like to make it. So will you take the bake challenge?
