conference

[Johnston]

Dear all
I have just returned home after the National ACMI 'Hearts, Hands and Minds'
conference in Hobart.  I would love to be able to go on to Byron Bay for the
Homebirth conference, but that's not possible.  The babies that are due have
waited for me to return, but I doubt they'll wait much longer.

I was acutely conscious at the conference of many of the midwives who I have
met through this list, and who I met face to face for the first time.  These
are people who have shared their wisdom and passion through this list.
Many of us commented on whether the person (in the flesh) was what we
expected from the online meetings.

I believe that the open communication that this list has facilitated has
been significant in a growing sense of expectancy in midwifery.  We are
expecting big changes.

Tomorrow (Monday) the Senate Inquiry into childbirth procedures is hearing
submissions in Melbourne.  I expect to be there.  ACMI Vic is presenting at
11-11.45 am, Maternity Coalition 1.30-2 pm, and the Obstetricians 4-5pm.

Homebirth Conference

[Sue Cookson]

Greetings everyone,
My unopened email now is at 98 units - only a week or so of not being
available to listen and enjoy. Some active discussions no doubt.
This is basically a reminder to you that the Homebirth Conference is on in
Byron Bay in two short weeks (that's why I haven't been into my email!!)
Registrations are good with more arriving each day. We have made daily
registrations available for $100, and also the talk by Germaine Greer "The
Goddess and the Birthing Machine" is open to the public for $45 for the
afternoon. (This includes a talk by Sarah Buckley  "The Science and Beauty
of Birth").
Programmes are now available, and are being posted out to all conference
registrants today. Anyone wanting to see the programme can email me their
postal address.
This conference should be fairly lively as well as informative. We have
forums on Responsibility and Accountability ,
Managing the Unexpected, and Vaccination Awareness. Speakers include Jan
Robinson, Heather Gulliver, Shea Caplice, Carolyn Hastie, Peter Gailley,
Wintergreen, Edith (Gosling) Pearson, Carolyn Minchin, Sunderai, and Yvonne
Stewart, a local Aboriginal woman.
Maggie Lecky-Thompson, John Stevenson and Mary Murphy will participate in
some of the forums, along with Meryl Dorey and Marina and Diedre from HMA
Brisbane.Lots more too!!
Lots of lively list participants are coming along - can't wait to meet the
lovely Nigel and his goddess Cathy!!
Time is short, but please think about attending.
We will have tapes of every speaker and hopefully a video as well.
Send me your postal address, or phone me on (02) 6680 2717
See you there.  Sue Cookson

Homebirth conference

[settams]

Just a quick message:-
A huge thank you to all the organisers of the home birth conference. I' ve
juat arrived home from the most amazing, wonderful, energising weekend.

Thanks too to all those people who went, and made it such a wonderful
conference.

And thanks to Mari-Carmen Povoda for her foresight in faxing Germaine Greer.

I will write more when I've had some sleep and am more sensible - I just had
to let everyone know what a wonderful time I had, and how great it is to now
be able to put faces (and bodies) to many of the names from this list.

Love and blessings

Elisabeth

Conference feedback

[settams]

Dear All,

Now that I have returned to the real world after the very special place the
homebirth conference provided, I would like to offer some thoughts about the
conference.

I was a little disappointed that there was no opportunity for evaluation of
the conference at the time. Although analysis of the evaluations adds a
degree of work to the organisers after they thought everything was over and
they could relax, they are in fact a useful tool. Not just for the
organisers themselves, but if the information is passed on to the next
conference organisers then it continues to be useful into the future. Some
groups I have been involved with create something they call a 'Grandmother's
Book' in which the information is kept from one gathering to the next and
helps each new group to a) avoid making the same mistakes and b) find out
what has worked for others and build on that.

Having said all that, let me give some feedback about this most recent
conference.
1) Venue - excellent!
2) Food - absoulutley wonderful, plenty of it, good and wholesome and tasty,
and catered to peoples' needs.
3) Organisation - very well done.
4) Scheduling - not enough free time. When people travel so far to a
beautiful part of the country, and get to see friends they have made at
previous conferences only once every year or less, then 15 minutes for
morning and afternoon breaks and very short lunch breaks are not such a good
idea. Perhaps if the optional sessions had been offered 3 at a time, instead
of 2, then this would have allowed more time for either
socialising/networking or for a bit of sightseeing. (In my own case, having
no car I travelled all the way from Melbourne only to see the lighthouse for
5 mins, and walk around the town for 10 mins because a friend was able to
drive me in when she was going on an errand. This was a bit disappointing.)
5) No message board - these are always really useful at conferences for
people to comminucate with one another in a busy and hectic environment.

I hope that by offering these comments that I have not offended anyone, but
I really did miss the opportunity of doing so at the conclusion of the
conference itself.

With love and blessings

Intro & Conference

[Nikki Macfarlane]

First of all a quick intro to the list. I am living in Singapore and working
here as a doula & childbirth educator. Originally from NZ, I lived in Sydney
for 10 years before moving to the UK for 10 years. As well as my doula work
I am training women to become doulas and childbirth educators and also
studying for my Bach of Nursing at James Cook in Townsville. Doing my
nursing by distance - bit of a challenge but managing to stay on top of it -
just! Am now halfway through my second year (studying part time so taking 6
years overall) and planning to continue with midwifery once finished with
ambitions of having my own practice. Can't really see myself working in a
hospital environment! On a personal note have had 3 kids - one a waterbirth
and one a homebirth - all in the UK and with 100% midwifery care.

I have read a little about the Homebirth Conference in the Blue Mountains in
March. I am going to be in Australia for residentials and placements at that
time and seriously considering flying down for the conference the weekend it
is on if I have the weekend off. Is there a website where I can find out
more about the agenda for the conference and does anyone know if it is still
possible to go or is it all sold out? I read it is in the Blue Mountains -
where exactly does anyone know? My brother lives in East Kurrajong so pretty
close for me to get to hopefully!

ps. Is Doon Smith or a midwife called Robyn who knew Billi Gaven on the
list?

homebirth conference

[Tom, Tania and Sam Smallwood]

YIPPE!!
 
Usually a lurker on the list, with a 6 month old firmly 
attached to my breast making typing very challenging, I just had to have a 
public horrah for the fact that it's only 3 days to go until the homebirth 
conference!  Looking forward to meeting some other listers 
there.
 
Cheers

Re: Conference

[Andrea Robertson]

If you are interested in developing your skills as a midwife, check out the 
Practical Midwifery events planned for major centres, including Melbourne 
(and regional ones too) in August and September. The details have been 
mailed to everyone (snail mail), but you can also find them at:
http://www.birthinternational.com/event/index.html

The regular round of workshops are to be found at:
http://www.birthinternational.com/workshop/index.html

The big advantage of Birth International events is that we come to you 
it saves on travel and  makes them a lot less expensive. If you are 
interested in hosting a workshop or event in your area let us know!

The details of the next Future Birth evenbts will be posted shortly too. We 
have some favourite and exciting overseas speakers lined up for next April!

Regards,

Andrea

Re: Conference

[Kerreen Reiger]

Hi Ozmidders,
re discussion on forthcoming conferences- Belinda thought there was
a'forthcoming one in Melbourne'. She could be thinking of the 'Performing
Motherhood' conference at La Trobe  4-6 July which I sent a message around
about a while back. It is not a mid conference, but does include  birth
issues. It starts with an opening public lecture, 'Unmasking motherhood' by
Susan Maushart.
For details, see the la Trobe women's Studies home page- 
http://www.latrobe.edu.au/ws/ws_program.html. 
hope some of you can join us!

never get one hundred percent concensus on any issuebut a sense of 
collective action and responsibility in the professions and women's best 
interests is all I think any of us ask for.would you not agree?? I find 
what you have said really sad and disappointing for midwifery. The lack of 
unity within the profession as always been my issue with midwives...as a 
consumer and now a midwife studentI think if you went back through the 
ozmid archives...the bulk of my postings over the last few years has been 
either directly or indirectly on this very issueAt the B Mid 
Student Collectivewe have developed a real sense of COLLECTIVE 
responsibility for our professionyes we are all individuals..each with 
our own personal aspirations etc...we are a rich and diverse collective of 
midwife students, aspiring midwives and our supporters...who have different 
opinions, stands etc...yet what we have aimed to create is that sense of 
collective responsibilty for who and what we areI sensed along time ago 
that this is what was needed in midwifery...the need for midwives to look 
beyond their own little patch...and take in the bigger picturesometimes 
we need to sacrifice some personal gain for the "greater good"My vision 
in convening the Collective was to do just thisget us B Midders all 
talking to each other from the very beginning...discussing things with each 
other openly and honestlythrashing out our differences...bringing 
together our commonalitiesbut all within the context of a collective 
responsibilty t! ! o the profession of midwifery and the women we 
serveit is working wonderfully...perhaps other collective members might 
like to add their perceptionsbut I can see that the new midwife comes to 
her profession well informed, politicised and has a fundamental belief in 
Collective action and responsibility not just to herself, the women, but to 
her professionI sensed the beginnings of this collective 
responsibility a while ago...in the basement of the RWH in 
Melbourne.where midwives and women gathered at a public forum to discuss 
the development and implementation of the Bachelor Of Midwifery...yes 
individuals had different personal and profession stances on this issue..but 
look what progress has been made when a sense of Collective responsibility 
for the profession is fostered and nuturedthe ACMI B Mid task force is 
another example of a collective of wonderful midwives, who put aside their 
personal bias for the "greater good" of the profession...who could see that 
they had a resoponsibility to ensure that midiwfery education in this 
country refected both national and international standardscollective 
action, and a sense of collective responsibility is powerful when it 
happenswe need to build on all this good work to further develop and see 
NMAP realised. Thats all I was trying to say...yours in

Hi Katrina,
Lifechanging for me was the first time I heard Caroline Flint speak and
attending a homebirth conference in Bendigo many years ago - both of these
really ignited my passion for birth, not to mention, increased my faith SO
much in women and birth.
Good luck with selecting your "panel of speakers".  There's also lots of
excellent passionate Ausssie speakers, eg Andrea Robertson, Lynne Staff,
Vicki Chan and more.

Thanks too to all those people who went, and made it such a wonderful
conference.

And thanks to Mari-Carmen Povoda for her foresight in faxing Germaine Greer.

I will write more when I've had some sleep and am more sensible - I just had

Re: Conference feedback

[Francis and Dierdre Bowman]

Good points Elizabeth, 
 I too agree with you that there was not enough time to just relax and
catch up with people.  For me it has been a nearly 3 year break from the
Homebirth Movement and it would have been nice to chat a bit more.  
However great in other ways.  Venue was beautiful and the food was great
and there were some intereting talks.  For me , it was a highlight to see a
talk for the men.  I was most impressed to see the men voicing how it is
for them

Hi Liz - I was there too and have a 
similar response...   What energy, what power, what commeradery - woo 
hoo   Congratulations to Vanessa Owen who has displayed 
great leadership and balance, especially regarding the ongoing 
deliberations to regain midwifery insurance.  I agree that 
"Option 2" may well open the door for MANY midwives currently working in 
the hospital system to venture into community midwifery care options, 
consequently enhancing birth choices for women.  I now feel 
very excited about the future of midwifery in Australia.  Love,

Re: ACMI Conference

[midwife]

Just another thought about ACMI possibilities.

After the really poor outcomes of the ANF staff/client ratio's, expecially in the post 
natal area where I heard 1 midwife to 
10 women... not counting the babies as clients/people at all!!, it would be fantastic 
to see midwives move on mass to the 
ACMI, if they were able to provide PI insurance. If we had a mass movement to the ACMI 
then it could be possible for the 
executive to be paid for their work or to have administrative support. This wouold 
have benefits all round as the ACMI 
executive would have more time to devote to our causes and not be burnt out by trying 
to do the ACMI work plus paid 
employment plus trying to have a life.

Some other possibilities to ponder?

In peace and joy

Re: ACMI Conference

[midwife]

I just checked the ANF site and saw that ratios have been renegotiated to 1 to 8 
(sorry for this error)... but still not 
counting babies. 

another this to ponder is that ANF membership is  398.85 per year for full time 
workers, 301.20 for part timers... many 
midwives are members because of the PI insurance. So if the ACMI could offer 
competitive rates... and i heard 250.. then 
we are all better off.

an exciting possibility.

in peace and joy

Re: ACMI Conference

[Jan Robinson]

Dear Sally and list

The way to go is through all midwives joining the College! The 
greater the numbers the more power we have to change things.

The College PI deal where all members pay $250 and where both 
employed and self-employed midwives are covered for malpractice is a 
much better deal than ANF was offering.
The policy also gives all College midwives the opportunity to move 
from one practice domain to the other without fear of future 
litigation involving malpractice payouts.
Employed midwives can do the odd homebirth without fear of not being 
covered and self-employed midwives can work the odd casual shift in 
hospital knowing they have their own insurance to supplement any 
inadequate vicarious liability payouts.
Plenty of legal adivce is available with the College policy.

The initial $250 premium that ALL members will pay will get cheaper 
as the College numbers rise past the 4,000 mark. Who knows how cheap 
it will be when we hit the 5,000 members mark?
We will be better off than our NZ colleagues who pay a lot more to 
their College.

Cheers
Jan

re: homebirth conference

[Tom, Tania and Sam Smallwood]

Hi Belinda,
 
I'll be going to the homebirth conference, with hubby and 2 
chilluns in tow!  We plan to fly over on the Fri morning, hire a car, and 
then fly back Monday sometime, could look into hiring a larger people-mover if 
there are others interested in sharing that leg of the journey.  Let us 
know!  Look forward to meeting you there.

If anyone's interested in the conference I can send the brochure, as an

This is a request to the melbourne

I'm going to the conference and being from Sydney 
and working with a budget im seeking advice on  accommodation.
 
Where are other staying?  Are both the 
conference centre and the Mecure comfortable?  The Mecure is slightly 
cheaper but will I be spending much on taxis getting from there to the 
conference?   I am working from a budget.
 
I am getting so excited to see these great women is

[Robyn Thompson]

Dear Andrea
I spoke with Jan Robinson yesterday and she tells me she will see you on
Monday.  I have asked her to pass on my thoughts about the tenacity and size
of this conference.  I thought we could move it around to other States?  Jan
suggested Canberra while Parliament is in session and her email today
contained another good idea for video conferencing.  Maybe Barb Vernon and
Justine can give us some advice on this.   My thoughts on some of the
groups/companies/people we want to attract are:

Conference Organiser Birth International
Conference Convenor Maternity Coalition
State and National hosts Australian Government  
Women
Midwives state, national and international regardless of place of practice
Maternity Coalition and all the umbrella organisations of maternity
coalition with an even bigger thrust with NMAP
Bachelor of midwifery coalition
Any other supportive organisations such as Women's Electoral Lobby, Women in
Business, Women's Health 
Politicians state, federal and international (especially the NZ Prime
Minister)
Insurance organisations both health and indemnity
Universities educators and students
Professional groups, ICM, ACMI, NZCOM - AMA and NASOG
Regional and State hospital administrators
Union representatives
Media

any others you can think of

Re: [ozmidwifery] Homebirth Conference

[jo hunter]

It's been in NSW for the last 2 years and should 
really be in another state, any Canberra takers? Nat and I have a folder full of 
stuff to help the next organisers along, we started from scratch with no idea of 
how to organise a conference and as you can imagine learnt an awful lot along 
the way - there are also some funds in our account to pass on to the next 
organisers to get them started also.
If you are interested, it really was alot of fun 
and very rewarding!

[ozmidwifery] Up coming conference

[Rachel Smith]

Just a note to remind everyone to keep this date free.
On the 25th and 26th of July the NSW Midwives Association are having the 
annual state conference at the Carlton Crest in Sydney.
The theme for the conference is Midwives and Women: Getting our Act 
Together. The programme is varied and has something to suit everyone.
There is a Keynote address by Pru Goward and an interactive session with 
Julie McCrossin. Presentations include Autonomous Midwifery by Tina 
Pettigrew, Consumers and Maternity Care Policy by Virginia Miltrop, 
cultural care is well represented with presentations on Indigenous Birthing 
and meeting the needs of Moslem Women. Varied clinical issues will be 
presented and discussed, these include PPH, The Term Breech Trial, BFin the 
NICU and Routine Urinalysis in Pregnancy.
The conference will be interesting, informative and interactive and should 
not be missed. There is also a conference dinner/harbour cruise so plenty 
of time for relaxation and networking.
For details on registration and the programme contact the NSW Midwives 
Association on 02)92819522
See you there

[ozmidwifery] Conference program announced

[Andrea Robertson]

Hi fellow listers,

The Preparing for Birth and Parenthood Conference program details are 
available now on our website:


http://www.birthinternational.com/event/pfb_aus_2006/index.html

This is THE most important event for those involved in parent education in 
Australia, and is modelled on the highly successful Conference that we 
presented in the UK this past April (why should Aussies miss out, we thought).


Speakers include two key educators from overseas - Mary Nolan from the UK 
and Sherokee Ilse from the US and a list of Australian educators and 
midwifery leaders who have special expertise in this field. The workshop 
format, a first for OZ, will enable participants to get hands-on skills in 
a range of areas - this is not going to be just a "talk fest"!


You won't want to miss this one

BTW, we are arranging some special additional events for midwives with 
Sherokee Ilse, on the theme of dealing with stillbirth, miscarriage and 
neonatal death. We'll let you know when the details for this program is 
available, but I can tell you that there will be one-day workshops in 
Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney and Brisbane, in February 2006.


Regards,

Andrea

RE: [ozmidwifery] homebirth conference

[Tracey Anderson Askew]

I 
would have to echo those words Jo, it was a timely inspiration for all of the 
hardworking women out there trying to keep homebirth alive as a choice for 
women. The speakers were great and I came away feeling like I wanted to have 
another child - ooops did I say that? I mean I came away feeling like my work 
with women is of great value to the community at large - it has renewed my 
energy levels and given me lots to think about, but most importantly how 
necessary it is for us all to band together to support each 
other.

Yes, I'll second that Jo.  You took the words right out

who is dying from cancer (at home) - I couldn't help but reflect on the 
similarities of birth and death at home.

Title: Re: [ozmidwifery] homebirth conference



Hear! Here!  Jo and Tracey. 
I thoroughly enjoyed the HBA Conference as well. 
There was not one speaker who didn’t motivate me in some way to do a bit more for the homebirth movement.
Congratulations to the new National Coordinator, Jo Hunter and her new committee. 
Watch for national committee news on the new HBA webwsite.

Can I take this opportunity to ask the WA HBA organising committee if next year’s HBA is going to be near to the time of the ACMI Conference, 31st August to 3rd September?  I’d love to be able to attend both if I’m travelling that far. 

My computer has been down with a corrupt e-mail program so am just getting back into the email.
I’d like to take this opportunity to ask any midwife living in NSW who would be willing to contract to do homebirths for NSW Health in their local area to please forward me their details. 

We are getting closer to the homebirth funding (once again, thanks to Justine’s input at our meeting with NSWHealth) I need a list of midwives to cover ALL NSW Area Health Services for the next meeting (later this month).

NSW was first in with a Nurses and Midwives Act ... Now we want to be the first state to offer free  homebirths to women. So midwives who have previously attended homebirths, please register you _expression_ of interest NOW!
Contact me by phone or email if you have further questions about this exciting development.

  EARLY BIRD PLACES CLOSE TOMORROW, 30/9/04
  

Mary, I have just today sent off an entry form for myself and 5 work
collegues, so hopefully it will get there by tomorrow for the group and
early bird rate.

Also, I was wondering if anyone had any bright ideas to fix morning
sickness please!!  I feel nauseous all the time - constantly... I
don't actually vomit very often, but all I want to do is stay in bed
and sleep through the nausea, because that is the only time I feel ok. 
I stopped taking my multivitamin yesterday incase it was the iron in it
making me feel so horrid, but I was sicker today than ever, so that's
not it.  I am also taking ginger and vit B6 tablets 8 hourly, which I
thought were working yesterday, but today it seems not.  I don't like
ginger, so ginger ale is out.

I don't want to take anything like Maxalon, as there is nothing in my
stomach for it to empty faster.   I do manage to eat every now and
then, but it's the drinking that's hard, as a mouthful of water makes
me feel very bloated.  I know I just need to sip it constantly.  

I have never felt so horrid in my whole life.  I know when this morning
sickness is over I will be excited about being pregnant, but it's a bit
hard at the moment.

Thanks for listening, everyone :)  If you have any ideas for me, please
let me know :)

Love Jo

[Janet Caulfield]

Dear Raelene,
I can't go to the Hobart conference but I would 
love more information on your conference to be held next year.

I would love to visit with midwives working from rural areas.

homebirth conference- some feelings

[Damian & Kylie POLONI]

This is the second homebirth conference I have been to and there was no way
I was going to miss it this year after the wonderful experience in Western
Australia last year.
This year was very well organized and I compliment the organizers for the
huge amount of work they did. Wonderful childcarers, beautiful food.
The women that I was with and others that I spoke to felt that the
conference was very midwife focused. I am a student midwife but I was there
first and foremost as a woman and mother of homebirthed babies. I felt
disappointed that a lot of the discussions seemed to be dominated by
midwives and their feelings. I don't want there to be division between
midwives and women but at the same time please don't forget us! I realize
that midwives have felt alienated from homebirth Australia for a long time
and I believe we should support each other. I also appreciate the
opportunity to hear the wisdom of our elders, such as the forum, however as
the day was running so late we had to leave to get to our children so missed
out! I honour and respect all the midwives I met at the conference- what
incredible women. I love and admire the midwives who have cared for me (Deb
Davis and Maggie).
This is the way that some women felt about the conference. Maybe next year
we can create a more unified feeling for everyone. Are women so different
today as one midwife suggested? Or do they move on from the homebirth
movement when they are finished with it feeling they have nothing to offer?
I feel that these women need to be nurtured as they are the ones who can
carry the homebirth movement on, with midwives,  while they are feeling so
strong and passionate.

love Kylie.

Re: Attending ACMI conference

[Ian & Andrea Quanchi]

I too will be looking for a lift to the conference each day from Toowong
area in Brisbane (I could catch public transport but if someone was going
past). Long suffering husband requires the car also to take the kids to the
gold coast theme parks as promised

Perhaps we should supply them all with some sort of identification label
(perhaps purple ribbons) so that they can identify each other as I believe
there will be a few.

Victorian State ACMI Conference

[Sue Crosby]

CONGRATULATIONS to the midwives of the Sunraysia Sub-Branch of the ACMI for 
the fantastic conference they organised "Midwives on the Murray" last 
weekend.
We had a fantastic day with a very stimulating program which included -:
 Opening of the conference by Emma Thege-victorian midwife of the year
 Dr Alison Brookes speaking on "Effective midwifery and nursing 
communications:the challenge of unexpected birth outcomes - the child with a 
genetic condition
 Jane Warland - "Now or NeverMemory creation when a baby dies."
 Professor Marie Chamberlain-"Socialisation of midwifery students"
 Vicki Chan - "Birth Matters" The importance to the mother, the family 
and the community of how a baby comes into the world.

The conference dinner was a meal on a paddle steamer cruising on the "Murray 
River".

Thankyou to everyone involved and keep up the great work you are all doing.
I am so looking forward to the National conference in Brisbane.

Regards,
Sue Crosby

Re: ACMI Conference, Brisbane

[vcarne]

My colleague and I were due to fly out to Brisbane on Sunday to attend the ACMI
Conference and to represent our organisation, MIDIRS. However, in the aftermath
of Tuesday's tragic events in the U.S.A. and the potential repurcussions, an
executive decision was made not to travel. It wasn't a question of getting to
Australia, more a case of getting back to the UK, should things kick off.

Both Sue Penn (MIDIRS Marketing Executive) and myself, are very disappointed not
to be attending the conference, but this disappointment has been humbled by the
grief and disbelief echoed world-wide by the attack on America. We are sad not
be able to meet up and network with our Australian colleagues, but do plan to be
at the next ACMI Conference in two years time!

Although we can't be there, information flyers, copies of MIDIRS Midwifery
Digest, and Informed Choice Information Packs will be available on the MIDIRS
trade stand to be taken away. If you would like any further information about
MIDIRS information services, or are interested in becoming a MIDIRS
representative (see attachment), please email me at: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Have a good conference and our thoughts are with you.

With kind regards

Vicky Carne
Head of Midwifery

Both venues are very comfortable.  The accommodation co-ordinator for the

Hi all,

Read below for the article that appeared in the Geelong Advertiser 
on 22/6/06. Hopefully lots more to come

Janine :-)



Focus On Regional Births

Advocates will use a Home Birth Australia conference in Geelong to 
push for improvement of maternity servies in regional Australia.

Up to 360 people will attend forums on July 1 and 2 and hear 
speakers including revered American midwife and author Ina May 
Gaskin.

Organisers hope the Bringing Birth Back Home conference will help 
generate momentum in a campaign against the loss of maternity 
services for women living in rural and remote Australia.

They want acknowledgement of the roles midwives can play in helping 
rural women give birth at home and formal recognition from state and 
federal governments.

Midwives are unable to list as medical providers under Medicare or 
use insurance schemes available to other health professionals.

"The main focus is on bringing birth back home to local 
communities," midwife and conference spokeswoman Tina Pettigrew of 
Geelong said.

"We've had 50 per cent closure of local maternity wards across the 
country in the past 10 years, based on economics rather than on the 
right decisions for women."

Frequency of roadside births had increased as women found themselves 
forced to travel further to medical centres, she said.

Organisers expected 100 people to attend the conference but have 
shifted venues to the Mercure Hotel after an avalanche of 
registrations from across Australia.

[ozmidwifery] National get-together/Conference

[Andrea Robertson]

Hi,

I've changed the subject on this one - nearly missed Robyn's post... can we 
please change the title when the content changes from the original string?

Robyn wrote:

Why don't we through Ozmidwifery organise an outstanding NATIONAL 
CONFERENCE with All the interested and supportive groups (lead my 
Maternity Coalition and NMAP).  Invite the most effective members of 
Parliament and all the Area Chief Executive Officers and many doctors, 
invite overseas speaker who have made such changes in their 
country.  Invite universities and educators from all areas. Even the NZ 
Prime Minister would be helpful.  Invite the major insurance companies.

Don't wait any longer, we are all talking about being united, set some 
plans now and start working on it in the New Year so we can set some dates.

Who is interested in this united front?

I am certainly interested in helping with this. I have made a start by 
making the main thrust of the next Future Birth event a forum for 
announcing/discussing/exploring NMAP, ACMI the PI issues and what these all 
mean for the future of midwifery in Australia. There is already 
considerable interest in this event and I hope that we will attract a lot 
of midwives (as we did last time) who have not heard of any of this - 
without them we will get no-where with implementing NMAP.

I've been thinking that there is a need to follow this up with exploration 
of more aspects of this and that perhaps I should mount another event in 12 
months instead of 2 years as I normally do.

I would be willing to throw the resources of Birth International behind 
this effort, with profits to go to Maternity Coalition, if it would help. 
Getting an event like this off the ground takes time and effort and a level 
of expertise that we could provide.

Let me know what you all think. Meanwhile, we can get the ball rolling at 
the Future Birth event in April. I have some ideas for supporting Maternity 
Coalition through this event as well.

Andrea
Thanks for your support for midwives and women once again.  I put myself
forward to assist in whatever you think is appropriate.  Your experience to
coordinate something of large dimension will be invaluable.

If the responses are good let me know what you want.  We will need adequate
time to plan and promote such a huge Conference and I really look forward to
encouraging the participants who really need to listen and become aware.  I
am sure there are a lot of people out there who can assist to pull this off.

I have taken 2 to 3 months off birthing in the New Year so let me know I am
looking forward to the challenge.
