Darwin Homebirth Group

You don't have to have had a homebirth to join in - it's about our philosophy.

The Darwin Homebirth Group is a volunteer run collective of parents who share the philosophy that pregnancy, labor and birth are normal, natural family centered events. The Darwin Home Birth Group supports birth choices for all women, home birth and one to one midwifery care being some of those choices.

Who will be joining us? ✨️

Bring your children, partners, family and friends 📢

We are uniting to remind Australia that birth choices matter and midwives matter. Both are in jeopardy with the proposed changes as of January 1, 2027.

Get ready to rally, Darwin!

It was a lovely morning splashing in the creek with some new and familiar faces. Although the splashing was so enthusiastic, we didn't get any photos 😅

What could you share, Darwin community? ✨️

📣 CALL FOR ABSTRACTS - HBACON2027

Have a story to share, knowledge to contribute, or an idea that could bring our homebirth community together?

Homebirth Australia invites you to contribute to our 38th HBA Conference!
🌱 Homegrown Homebirth: Connecting Communities. 5–7 June 2027, Darwin NT

Homebirth is more than a place of birth. It's shaped by the people, relationships, knowledge, experiences and communities that make it possible.

We want to celebrate the richness of homebirth and welcome the many voices that make our community what it is.

What could you share?

🌿 Research, evidence and midwifery practice
🌿 Birth stories and lived experience
🌿 Community connection, culture and knowledge
🌿 Advocacy and access to homebirth
🌿 Postpartum, family and community experiences
🌿 Workshops, panels, creative projects and new ideas

You don't need to be an academic or an experienced presenter to have something valuable to share.

We warmly encourage submissions from homebirthing families, midwives, students, birthworkers, researchers, advocates, emerging voices and people whose perspectives are often underrepresented in traditional conference spaces.

Have an idea that doesn't fit neatly into these categories? We'd still love to hear from you!

📅 Submissions close 30 October 2026
Applicants will be notified by 27 November 2026.

We had a lovely morning splashing in the creek, climbing the playground and meeting new friends at the botanic gardens today 🌴 It's always great to see have dads and relatives come along for the fun, too. After all, birth is a family event ✨️

Some of the finished handiwork from our tie dying fun on Sunday morning. Don't they look great! The sand and grass just added to the unique design 🌼

Our next meet up is Sunday 26th of July.

What a fabulous morning connecting with like-minded parents, midwives and friends under the sprawling shade of the old mango tree at the Motherhood.

The kids loved the fruit juice slushies, delighted at watching the fresh popcorn popping away and waited eagerly to have their faces painted by the multi-taltended mumma extraordinaire, Rudo 💗 Old friends, and new, came together to celebrate birth, homebirth and the wonder that comes from supporting families to birth where they feel most grounded, connected and safe, wherever that may be.

Thank you to Laura from .to.heal for guiding us through a refreshing pilates flow while the kids played around us.

We even had a homebirth mother and midwife reconnect after 28 years! (The mandatory selfie is included in the reel). They relished in remembering that day in 1998.

Birth changes us forever. This is why we exist.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to our cause over the last four and a half decades.

Today, we are celebrating our 45th birthday 🎈

Here's to all the families, birth workers and friends who have supported homebirth over that time, and in doing so, protected the right to choose where birth unfolds. Thank you for being here and supporting our cause.

Birth pools have thankfully modernised in that time, but the essence of homebirth and our fabulous community is still the same 💛

Fun fact: the Darwin Homebirth Group existed even earlier than this but first became an incorporated association on 12/02/1981. We choose to gather our community to celebrate now in conjunction with International Homebirth Day.

Please join us on the shady Motherhood lawns today (Sunday 31st) from 9:30am for a free pilates flow, activities for the kids and a shared picnic. Eveeyone is welcome, whether you have birthed at home or support the homebirth ethos and community. The whole family is welcome 🙏

Join us this Sunday for a free pilates flow, activities for the kids and a shared picnic 💛
