Save our Family Birth Centre - Parents & Prams at Parliament

The Family Birth Centre is unique - it is the only one of its kind remaining in Victoria.
Join us with your prams and children on the steps of Parliament (Spring Street) and walk with us to the Minister's office (50 Lonsdale Street) to call for the Family Birth Centre to be saved from closure. (People without children also welcome!)
The Family Birth Centre provides a midwife led active birth experience, is woman centred and situated in a separate section of the hospital with its own clinical guidlines designed to increase the chance on a natural birth in a home-like environment.
The Mercy Hospital plans to close the family birth centre, and amalgamate it with the conventional labour ward.
Please join us and show that you want the Family Birth Centre to stay open.
It's about choice.
