With the granting of a Charter, MOPS Australia provides initial chartering materials with detailed explanations of how to begin and develop a MOPS program.

Although the specifics are always being updated, a partial list of what you will receive from MOPS Australia includes:

• MOPS Handbook and eight handbooks, one for each suggested Leadership Team position
• Leadership Team Training DVDs for each position
• Availability of promotional materials to advertise your MOPS group
• Connections magazine; a quarterly publication that provides continuing leadership resources, encouragement and opportunities for sharing among local MOPS leadership
• Access to a Regional Coordinator, who is the local link between your MOPS group and MOPS Australia. She provides training, support and encouragement to local MOPS leaders. In addition, she may hold Regional Training Days where local MOPS leaders gather for networking and leadership training
• Access to the password-protected MOPS Australia Leaders’ website, which provides up-to-date information and forums for networking with other Steering Team leaders around Australia (coming soon!)
• Access to the password-protected MOPS International Leaders’ website, which provides up-to-date information and forums for networking with other Steering Team leaders around the world
• MOPS Australia staff assistance

• Additional resources such as this website, books for mums, and the new MUMSense magazine (coming soon!)

Conferences

Annual MOPS Conferences are held in six states in Australia.  Conferences provide an invaluable opportunity for field staff to come together with leaders for networking and training. Electives are provided for ALL leadership team positions in addition to excellent speakers, corporate worship, lifestyle electives and (of course) socialising.  At each conference the theme for the following year is launched.  This means leaders can share resources, brainstorm ideas and begin planning for the coming year.  Please note that children are NOT catered for at conferences – with the exception of nursing infants.  To find out dates and details for future conferences, please go to the leader login section.
