Liana,

I absolutely agree with you that Doulas will revolutionize birth in Australia.
May this fully include our Indigenous sisters also.
I would like to see our Australia-wide Doula organization actively supporting improvements for birth services in Indigenous Communities. If you ever get a chance to see the DVD "Birth Rites" it is a real eye-opener. For Australian Doulas to be aware and pro-active MORE than the Government tends to be, is something good that we need to bring to birth in Australia.
Liana, congratulations on your new 'little little' due in 07! Wonderful!
