It has been 6 months since the expansion of the MGP at Wollongong hospital and the intitation of a new MGP at Shoalhaven hospital was announced.

Our Special Edition Newsletter will look at what has and hasn’t been achieved in the past 6 months, what does this mean for mothers and birthing parents now and in the future. We will also share an opportunity for communities and midwives in other parts of Australia to learn from Better Births Illawarra on how we have influenced these significant changes to occur amidst a workforce shortage, other governmental priorities and with little to no resources.

If you want to have the best possible maternity care in your region, sign up to our newsletter to be in the know.

 

Our work is conducted on what always was and always will be Aboriginal land — the Countries of the Wodi Wodi, Wandi Wandandian, Dharawal, Yuin of the Yuin Nation. Our work is committed to justice for all people including the sovereignty of First Nations people, knowledge systems and practices. In our work, we commit to reverence, healing, respect, responsibility and reciprocity with all beings, the land, sky, seas and waterways and pay our deepest respect to Elders past, present and emerging.
