Sign up for “Start where you are” Advocacy Series

Practical training for new and growing advocates who want all women and birthing parents to have access to an empowered birth.

You don’t need to be an expert to make a difference — just a voice, a story, and the courage to make a difference. Whether you’ve had a powerful birth, a traumatic one, or simply want better care for others, with experienced advocates and guest speakers, this webinar series will give you the tools, support, and confidence to take action.

Whether you want change at your local hospital, access to homebirth services, an end to birth trauma, or tips on speaking with your local MP — this online training that you can attend live or watch a replay is for you. You'll gain practical skills, connect with others, and grow your advocacy.

If you live anywhere in Australia and want to stand up for better pregnancy, birth and postpartum care, this is your invitation to join a growing movement for change.

If you care, you’re ready. Start where you are.
