About us
Formed in 1974, the Australian Multiple Birth Association is the only national support organisation for multiple-birth families and individuals in Australia. AMBA is a not-for-profit organisation consisting of multiple birth families to whom we provide support, resources and education from other families sharing the same unique journey. With no paid staff, AMBA’s board and clubs are managed and operated by volunteer parents of multiples from all walks of life and experience. AMBA is active in supporting families, increasing awareness of the unique needs of multiple birth families, improving the resources made available to them and producing and distributing literature on issues relating to multiples. Today there are multiple birth clubs in every state and territory of Australia, with membership of around 4,000 families.

With heavy hearts, we say goodbye to Professor John Hopper, a long-time supporter and passionate advocate for Australian multiple birth families. His contributions to our community have been invaluable, and his legacy will be felt for years to come. Vale, Professor Hopper.
It is with great sadness that we share the news of the sudden passing of our friend, colleague and collaborator, Professor John Hopper AM, who led Twins Research Australia over the past 35 years. John was a pioneering Australian genetic epidemiologist and twin researcher whose work transformed understanding of the genetic and environmental factors influencing human health globally. Throughout his distinguished career, John authored over 1,200 scientific papers, significantly impacting fields such as cancer epidemiology, public health, and genetic research. His leadership in twin studies is perhaps his most enduring contribution to the scientific community. In 1990, he was appointed Director of the Australian Twin Registry, now known as Twins Research Australia, based at the University of Melbourne. It has become one of the world’s largest twin registries, with over 35,000 twin pairs. This invaluable resource facilitated groundbreaking studies into how genetics and the environment affect health outcomes. He also advocated for strengthening global networks, data sharing and fostering partnerships. His mission was to ensure twin studies remained at the forefront of scientific discovery. Professor Hopper received numerous honours, including being named an inaugural Australia Fellow by the NHMRC in 2007 and receiving the Member of the Order of Australia in 2008 for his service to genetic epidemiology and public health. John will be remembered as a generous friend, collaborator and insightful mentor – and he will be deeply missed. His legacy lives on through his contributions to twin research and the scientific community at large, continuing to inspire generations in the pursuit of knowledge and health improvement. We welcome comments, stories and memories at our online remembrance card for John: https://lnkd.in/gyU4aXFH The University of Melbourne is planning a memorial event, and we will provide further details at this page when available.
