✨ Looking Forward with Hope ✨

As this year draws to a close, we pause to acknowledge what has unfolded across midwifery and maternity care — in Australia and around the world. We have seen midwives speaking out against unsafe maternity systems. We have seen long-standing issues brought into the light. And we have witnessed real progress when courage, evidence, and collective voices have refused to be silenced.

We have also seen midwives step up for one another — offering support, solidarity, and care when it has been needed most. Midwives holding midwives. Sharing knowledge. Standing together when the work has been heavy and the system slow to change.

As we move toward a new year, we carry a shared vision for a kinder, more inclusive maternity care system. One where midwives are visible, valued, and supported to practise to full scope. Where collaboration replaces barriers, diversity is honoured, and women and babies remain at the centre of all we do.

We take forward what we know, what we have learned, and how we have grown — committed to strengthening midwives, improving maternity care, and shaping a future grounded in compassion, connection, and courage.

Together, we walk into the year ahead with hope.

🌿 “Midwives use non-pharmacological options as a first line.”

This isn’t about doing less.
It’s about doing what works first.

Midwives are trained to support physiology — using movement, water, touch, positioning, reassurance, environment, and continuity of care before escalating to pharmacological or procedural options.

Starting with non-pharmacological approaches is associated with:
✨ a lower chance of side effects
✨ higher acceptability for women
✨ fewer unnecessary interventions
✨ better experiences — and often better outcomes

This is skilled, evidence-based care.
And it deserves recognition, protection, and investment.

💊 Did you know midwives provide contraception care too? 💊

Midwives don’t just support pregnancy and birth — we support women across their whole reproductive life.

✔️ Midwives provide evidence-based information and education about contraception
✔️ Endorsed midwives can prescribe contraception
✔️ Endorsed midwives can insert long-acting reversible contraception (LARC), including Implanon

This means women can access trusted, relationship-based contraception care from a clinician who knows their history, listens to their priorities, and centres informed choice.

Contraception is healthcare.
Midwives are women’s health experts.
And access matters.

Midwives provide care for women across the whole journey — antenatal, birth, and postnatal — and for many families, that care happens at home.

And here’s the part that often gets missed 👇
The data doesn’t just say homebirth with a qualified midwife is safe.
It says outcomes are better.

📊 Better outcomes for mothers include:
• Higher rates of spontaneous vaginal birth
• Lower rates of intervention
• Lower risk of trauma and birth injury
• Higher satisfaction with care

👶 Better outcomes for babies include:
• Fewer unnecessary interventions
• Stronger breastfeeding outcomes
• Improved bonding and early parenting confidence

This isn’t about being “alternative.”
It’s about evidence-based, continuity-of-care midwifery — delivered in the place where women feel safest, most respected, and most in control.

When women are trusted, supported, and cared for by midwives they know — everyone benefits.

Home is not a compromise.
For many families, it’s the gold standard.

Birth centres are not a “nice extra” — they are essential.

When midwives provide pregnancy and birth care in birth centres, women gain real, meaningful choice about where and how they give birth. Birth centres are intentionally designed to support physiological labour: calm, home-like spaces that promote movement, autonomy, continuity of care, and trust in the birthing process.

The evidence is clear: midwife-led birth centre care supports excellent outcomes for women with uncomplicated pregnancies, with high satisfaction and fewer unnecessary interventions.

And Australia is now on the cusp of something important. Matrescence Birthing Centres represent a new generation of birth centre care — purpose-built, midwife-led, woman-centred, and safely integrated within the health system.

If we are serious about improving maternity outcomes, respecting women’s autonomy, and creating sustainable maternity services, then expanding access to midwife-led birth centres must be part of the solution.

Choice is not optional.
Midwifery is not a risk — it is the answer.

Midwives have supported waterbirth for decades — not because it’s a trend, but because it works 🌊

Waterbirth can:
• Support physiological labour
• Reduce the need for pharmacological pain relief
• Promote relaxation and mobility
• Respect women’s autonomy and choice
• Be safe and appropriate for many low-risk pregnancies when supported by skilled midwives

Midwives are trained to assess, monitor, and support waterbirth safely — keeping both woman and baby at the centre of care.

Supporting waterbirth is about trusting women, trusting physiology, and providing evidence-based options.

💧Choice matters.
💧Care matters.
💧Midwives matter.

Midwifery care is not only good for women and babies — it’s good for the planet too.

Continuity of care, fewer unnecessary interventions, less resource-intensive technology, and more care provided in homes and communities all mean a smaller environmental footprint. And with increased rates of breastfeeding with midwifery, that's fewer cans of formula in landfill and less environmental impact from the manufacture of formula.

In a world facing climate and sustainability challenges, midwifery offers care that is evidence-based, person-centred and environmentally responsible.

Supporting midwives is supporting healthier families, stronger communities, and a more sustainable future.

💙 “Midwives are uniquely able to provide essential services to women and newborns even in the most difficult of settings.”
— World Health Organization

This isn’t just praise — it’s evidence.

Across the world, midwives provide skilled, compassionate, lifesaving care in hospitals, homes, remote communities, disaster zones and everywhere in between. They adapt, innovate and continue to show up for women and babies when systems are stretched or failing.

Midwifery is not an “alternative” to care — it is essential care.
When midwives are supported to work to their full scope, outcomes improve for women, babies and communities.

Today, and every day, we celebrate the strength, skill and impact of midwives.

Midwifery care is linked to the lowest rates of instrumental birth (forceps or vacuum).
And that’s not just a statistic—it reflects a whole philosophy of care.

Midwives prioritise:
✨ Continuity
✨ Physiological birth
✨ Respectful, individualised support
✨ Evidence-based decision making

Lower rates of instrumental birth mean:
🌼 Less perineal trauma
🌼 Faster recovery
🌼 Lower chance of complications
🌼 Better experiences for women and babies

When women feel safe, supported, and listened to, their bodies can work the way they’re meant to—and midwifery care creates the environment for that to happen.

Midwifery care leads to the highest rates of spontaneous vaginal birth — that’s birth without induction, without augmentation, and without forceps or vacuum assistance.

Why does this matter?
Because when women are supported by midwives through continuity of care, they’re more likely to experience:

✨ A physiologically led labour
✨ Fewer interventions
✨ Faster recovery
✨ A more positive birth experience

Midwives are skilled at holding space, supporting physiology, and recognising when true intervention is needed — not before.

When midwives work to full scope, women’s bodies are respected, birth unfolds more naturally, and outcomes speak for themselves.

Midwifery care: safer, kinder, and grounded in evidence.
