Every pouch of freeze-dried donor human milk begins with the generosity of a mother who has donated her breast milk to help another family.
At Mother’s Milk Bank Charity, we carefully screen, process and test donated milk before preparing it for distribution to families across Australia.
All milk donors complete an initial health assessment and undergo required blood screening before their milk is accepted.
Donated milk is collected and transported under controlled cold-chain conditions to our Brisbane facility.
Once received, donated milk is checked, weighed, labelled and stored in commercial freezers.
The milk is then measured into 100 mL portions and pasteurised to reduce the risk of harmful microorganisms.
Samples collected before and after pasteurisation undergo external microbiological testing. The milk must pass the required quality and safety checks before it is released for distribution.
Following pasteurisation, the milk is freeze-dried to remove water and then packaged into individual powder pouches.
Each pouch contains the equivalent of 100 mL of liquid donor human milk, which can be reconstituted according to the supplied preparation instructions.
The donor human milk itself is provided free of charge.
As a registered charity, Mother’s Milk Bank operates on a cost-recovery model. Processing fees help cover the essential services required to make donated milk available to families, including:
Donor screening and blood testing
Collection and refrigerated transport
Milk handling, pasteurisation and freeze-drying
Microbiological testing and quality assurance
Packaging, storage and distribution
These fees cover the preparation and distribution of donated human milk, not the milk itself.
Our freeze-dried pasteurised donor human milk has a three-year shelf life from the date of freeze-drying, provided the pouch remains unopened and is stored according to the supplied instructions.
Each pouch contains freeze-dried donor human milk powder equivalent to 100 mL of liquid milk when reconstituted according to the supplied preparation instructions.
Once opened or reconstituted, the milk must be handled and stored according to the instructions provided with your order.
Always check the expiry date printed on your pouch before use.
Mother’s Milk Bank relies on the generosity of milk donors and financial supporters to help families access pasteurised donor human milk.
Financial contributions help us subsidise processing fees and extend our support to more babies and families.
