Women's birth choices are being limited.
This is a human rights issue. An issue that affects everyone regardless of where you feel safest giving birth.
📣 THE FUTURE OF HOMEBIRTH IS AT STAKE. WE NEED YOU.
On 1 January 2027, the current exemption allowing second midwives to attend homebirths is due to end.
Homebirth Australia is calling for an urgent temporary solution before this deadline, so second midwives can continue attending homebirths, followed by a permanent, affordable insurance solution in 2027.
We've been told this isn't going to happen. We believe that only an extraordinary show of public pressure can turn the tide. We need to demonstrate just how much this matters to Australian families, midwives and communities.
