[ozmidwifery] 24th HOMEBIRTH AUSTRALIA CONFERENCE

[Sally-Anne Brown]

Dear all   Apologies for cross - postings......   On behalf of the Homebirth Australia Conference Committee we are delighted to announce on this auspicious day (Full moon in Leo) the 24th Homebirth Australia Conference will be held in Geelong Victoria on July 1st and 2nd.  Please note the date, venue, speakers and booking details cited below.  The committee is working very hard to raise funds to keep costs low and the event accessible for women. In the event you can assist (even by long distance) your efforts would be warmly appreciated - please email [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you can help....   Also featured at the conference will be a tribute to the late Joan Donley and Jeannine Parvatti Baker as well as a ceremony of our midwife elders and wise ones 'handing down their knowledge' to the younger midwives - to keep those homefires burning.  There will be of course a timely session of "what is happenning around oz" as well as the HBA AGM.   All in all there will be many more wonderful presenters than those cited on the invited speakers list participating in either the conference, the ceremony, conference expo or the poster display which will feature the work by current research mothers and midwives ...   Of course more than anything we would love to see as many of you there as possible.    Kind Regards   Sally-Anne Brown for the Homebirth Australia Conference committee       24th Homebirth Australia Conference   “Bringing Birth Back Home”   The homebirth model can: Return services to rural Australia Improve Indigenous outcomes & humanise our broken maternity system      Guest Speakers:        Ina May Gaskin (USA) Traditional Midwife, Author, Activist Robyn Thompson (AUS) Practicing Independent Midwife Sally Pairman (NZ) Academic, Midwife Henci Goer (USA) Author Rachael Mazza (AUS) ABC TV’s “Message stick”, Indigenous woman, Homebirth Mother Dr Sarah Buckley (AUS) GP, Homebirth Mother, Author Justine Caines (AUS) Consumer Activist, Rural Homebirth Mother Maggie Lecky Thompson (AUS) Founder ASIM Jo Hunter (AUS) Convenor HBA, Doula, Homebirth Mother                              Date & Venue:     July 1-2 2006 Geelong Conference Centre Adams Court, East Geelong     Registration Includes: Full Conference, all meals & expo.
