Disadvantaged first-time mums in Melbourne's west would get support under a $700,000 promise by the Liberal-Nationals.
Opposition Leader Matthew Guy promised the cash to The Babes Project at Kilsyth on Tuesday.
"It is about support for mums at the hardest time, when they've just given birth," he told reporters.
"I want to directly invest in organisations that can help mothers and help families directly and particularly those who need it the most, when they are at a time where they are either younger or in a crisis circumstance."
The opposition had already promised $300,000 in support to the group, which helps women facing a crisis pregnancy, by providing them with pre- and antenatal information, first aid classes, cooking and nutrition guidance, budget assistance and childbirth information.
Mr Guy on Tuesday also released his latest booklet for voters detailing promises he says will lower the cost of living for Victorians.
His party has also promised foster and kinship carers another $1500 each per year to help cover expenses, while carers in regional Victoria would also get 10 per cent extra.
