Congratulations on your new arrival.

Every baby born in a NSW hospital gets the Baby Bundle bag. It's full of useful products to help you and your baby get off to a good start when you get home.

You'll get the Baby Bundle before your discharge from hospital. If you didn't give birth in a hospital, you will get it once your baby is registered with NSW Births, Deaths and Marriages.

Baby Bundle eligibility

The Baby Bundle bag is given to all families who are NSW residents and their baby was born after 1 January 2019.

Each baby receives their own Baby Bundle. If you have twins, you will get two Baby Bundles etc.

Adoptive or foster parents can get a Baby Bundle if their baby is up to three months old and they live in NSW.
