Welcome
Teddy Love Club Pregnancy and Infant Loss Support is an Australian wide support program for bereaved parents who suffer the loss of their baby or babies to miscarriage, stillbirth, termination of pregnancy for foetal abnormality and neonatal death.
The TLC program is the orginal bear giving program in Australia. TLC donates traditional Teddy Bears to bereaved parents, in the hope the bear may help to ease the pain of leaving the hospital with such aching empty arms. We hope to provide parents with the comfort of knowing they are not alone right from the beginning, and offer significant ongoing support & understanding to bereaved parents, their families and their friends.
TLC is based in South Australia but operates across the whole of Australia also and provides many other support services such as:
- Free professional counselling via telephone 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
- One on one professional counselling.
- Free call 1800 number
- Informative TLC Resource Pack

- Home or Hospital Visits (SA only)
- Grief & Loss Library

- An Australia wide newspaper
- Online pregnancy & infant loss support groups
