Canberra Mothercraft Society celebrates 90 years

This year, the Canberra Mothercraft Society (CMS) is celebrating 90 years of service to the Canberra community.

Established in 1926, the Canberra Mothercraft Society is longest standing health service provider in the ACT, supporting thousands of families in that time.

They founded several community based services for families, including our modern-day Child and Maternal Health Services and the development of pre-school and childcare services in Canberra.

They are also the longest continuous provider of a public hospital service in Canberra, through the Queen Elizabeth II Family Centre (fondly known as QEII).

CMS are immensely proud of their history and this impressive milestone.
