Current situation for Homebirth

[~mamaspice~]

Hmmm, this is not good.

Have the ACM approached Insurers to see whether one of them might consider tailoring an appropriate PI product for midwives? As I said in an email to you some weeks ago Kelly, I work in the industry and although our PI department is headed out of another state I am more than happy to bring this up with the appropriate people within our organisation to see whether anything might be possible. This of course is of no financial benefit to myself, just trying to find a way for a cause that I am passionate about. Better independant midwives have the option to access and pay for their own PI insurance then not having them be able to practice at all.

I can't believe we live in Australia and it's like this!! Makes me so angry to think our rights can be taken away like that... we aren't given the choice.
I was only thinking the other day that I would quite possibly like a home birth for bub #2 or maybe #3.... it is something I would definitely like to consider and possibly experience.

When are we rallying?!?!? I will be there.
