The Australian Breastfeeding Association (ABA) is a large community-based self-help group, recognised as a leading authority on breastfeeding management. The Association provides innovative counselling and support services to the community and health sector throughout Australia.

The Manning-Great Lakes Group of ABA provides support, information, and friendship to women and their families on the mid-north coast. The Group is run entirely by volunteers. The Group runs regular meetings, usually on the first and third Monday of each month. The Group also has a library and runs breastfeeding education classes as well as other community education programs.
