Family Friendly Baw Baw Initiative

Family Friendly Baw Baw is an initiative from Baw Baw Shire Council.
 
As part of the Family Friendly Baw Baw Project, we want parents and children to feel welcome in local businesses, which will encourage families to frequent businesses in their community – which are often run by local families!
 
Any type of business is welcome to participate by displaying any combination of the Family Friendly Service stickers. This will alert parents to the facilities or services they can access within their business.
 
The sticker system is an easy, eye-catching way to let families in the area know that facilities, such as a parent room for feeding or a toilet, are available to them without the obligation of making a purchase.
