IMPORTANT: Enquiry into midwifery changes

[BellyBelly]

Guys I have just gotten this Senate Enquiry info from Justine, please please please shoot off a quick email, all it needs to say is that homebirth MUST be included in these changes - it doesn't need to be complicated or details so don't worry if you feel unsure at what to write, but of course feel very free to express your views on this. This is a chance we have, we need to use it!!! CLOSES JULY 20TH! Please do not delay!!!

Dear Friends of Homebirth

Here is the Homebirth Australia Action Plan at LONG last. PLEASE FORWARD FAR AND WIDE. I will forward to as many lists as I can. It will also be up on the Homebirth Australia Website.

It is brief but should contain relevant facts and the action plan for the next couple of months.

OF PARTICULAR NOTE: The Senate Inquiry re Medicare for Midwives Legislation. The Medicare and related legislation has been sent off to a committee to receive submissions. This is your chance to SAY VERY CLEARLY THAT HOMEBIRTH MUST BE INCLUDED.

Parliament of Australia: Senate: Committees: Community Affairs: Inquiry into Health Legislation Amendment (Midwives and Nurse Practitioners) Bill 2009 and two related Bills

Submissions Close 20 July and we need to make this submission ALL ABOUT HOMEBIRTH.

A one pager from a woman is enough. They can be emailed to

community.affairs.sen@aph.gov.au

We got 900 submissions to the Maternity Services Review, let?s beat it this time!!

In solidarity

Justine
