2010 Events

Every second year, the Australian College of Midwives hosts this collaborative maternity conference. In 2010 we are pleased to co-host this conference in partnership with the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine and the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. 

The aim is to bring midwives, obstetricians, GPs, service managers, policy makers, and consumers, together to discuss and debate contemporary issues in maternity care with a view to ensuring women and babies receive safe and high quality maternity care 

There is an impressive array of workshops, and conference sessions planned for the 2010 conference in Alice Springs, with international and Australian speakers from all professional and consumer perspectives. The conference gives particular attention to improving outcomes for Aboriginal mothers and babies. 

Registration is now open!  Don’t miss your chance to be inspired and challenged.

Go Girl Australia

Go Girl Australia is a not-for-profit venture that aims to promote continuity of care from a known midwife, normal birth and breastfeeding.

We believe that every Australian woman is entitled to make these choices and that far too many women are not well informed about their options in pregnancy, childbirth and early parenting.

Armed with years of experience as a mother and midwife, a well-travelled bike named Cecil, thousands of k's in the saddle, and wonder van Muriel (pictured above), Marg Phelan is combining her life's passions to spread the word that women have a right to choose where and with whom they give birth, and to be properly supported in these choices.

Marg's aim is to educate Australian women of all ages, locations, lifestyles and circumstances about the benefits of care from a known and trusted midwife and the importance of good support throughout their pregnancy, birth and early parenting journey.
