BREAKING: Baby Priya’s Bill 2025 has today passed Federal Parliament, ensuring employer-funded paid parental leave protections are now enshrined in legislation for grieving parents experiencing the stillbirth or death of a child.

I want to pay heartfelt tribute to Baby Priya and Baby Priya’s parents and family, whose courageous advocacy had helped ensure that no other family would have to endure what they went through ❤️

In light of several recent tragedies linked to freebirth, RANZCOG and the Australian College of Midwives (ACM) are urging Commonwealth, state, and territory health ministers to introduce laws like those in South Australia under the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (South Australia) (Restricted Birthing Practices) Amendment Act 2013.

These laws would ensure that only registered midwives and doctors manage labour and childbirth.

Freebirth is the practice of giving birth without a registered healthcare professional, such as a midwife or doctor, present. It is different from a homebirth, which is planned and supported by a registered healthcare provider. The absence of appropriate clinical support during freebirth has led to preventable harm and loss of life.

Adopting this legal framework across Australia would help keep birthing women and people, and their babies, safe. It would also strengthen professional accountability and clarify the roles and responsibilities of obstetricians, GP obstetricians, and midwives.

Not that I'm placing any importance on performance at school, but whatever it takes to get the message through to pregnancy care providers that induction can (& often does) have lasting implications, for both mother and child. I am so tired of hearing a labour "needs to be induced at 37 or 38 weeks, due to (insert whatever BS reason here)". If you, or your baby, are in serious danger, no OB worth their salt would faff about with 2 days of induction, which would only lead to further foetal distress. If things are tracking well, you have every right to insist on waiting for spontaneous labour.

This is such an important topic. Highly recommend going along if you can, or perhaps we should organise a screening in the Nambucca Valley?
