This blog was initially set up to support women and midwives through the Australian government's reform of maternity services in 2009-2010. Since 1 July 2010, when the reforms came into effect, a few midwives continue to practise privately, attending women and their babies, providing the full scope of primary maternity care in homes, and enabling women to make informed decisions when and if medical intervention is needed.

midwives' blogs tell the story
Several blogs have been presenting the story. Here are a few examples:
The question that was not answered
Insurance measures could force homebirth underground, Opposition says
Homebirth Whisperer
Homebirth, the masters plan
What assumptions underlie the costing of the government's midwife indemnity scheme?
Streaming from the Senate Committee Hearing
The Rally outside Nicola Roxon's office
and
and video footage
I would like to make a list of midwives' blogs at this site, and invite midwives who are blog keepers to trade links. In this way anyone who is interested in following the unfolding events leading up to 1 July 2010 is able to find and follow the links. Please contact me by responding in the comments section, or by email.
