In NSW, SIDS and SANDS are a combined organisation since about
1999/2000. This is due in large to the decrease in number of SIDS. See
their site.

Dear Jan If you are looking for external support
networks for this woman, SANDS are THE best and most appropriate
resource for this woman. Their network has been designed specifically
for women with this type of loss, SIDS are starting to dabble in all
types of child loss and although they can do a great deal for parents
who lose infants to SIDS, I doubt their effectiveness in this
situation. SANDS councellors (who have all experienced similar loss)
are able to be with this woman and her family for as long as they need
them. They in fact prefer to come in prior to birth in this situation
as this assists in the establishment of the support network which will
be so important afterwards as the family works its way through the
grief process. If you are looking for contacts in the south eastern
suburbs please give me a call Regards Alesa
