Dust off your banners. Paint your placards. It's time to rally to protect our birth choices!

#PROTECTBIRTHCHOICES # RALLYFORHOMEBIRTH #GRANDMOTHEROFALLRALLIES

On 1 January 2027, the current exemption allowing second midwives to attend homebirths is due to end. This will cause a catastrophic collapse in access to midwife-supported homebirth in Australia. No second midwives, no homebirth!

Homebirth Australia is calling for an urgent, temporary solution before this deadline so second midwives can continue attending homebirths, followed by a permanent affordable insurance solution in 2027.

We've been told by the government that this isn't going to happen. Only an extraordinary show of public pressure can turn the tide. We need to demonstrate just how much this matters to Australian families, midwives and communities.

JOIN US IN DARWIN TO DEMONSTRATE THAT BIRTH CHOICE DESERVES TO BE PROTECTED.

Why do I need to register?

Registration is completely free and only takes a moment. We need you to register so we have a rough idea of the number of people this matters to, so we can communicate that to the government and the media. The more attendance we have, the greater our collective power! Please register a ticket for everyone attending in your group.

Who should I bring?

Bring your children, bring your partner, bring your mother and your neighbour and your friends and your grandmother. We need the community to show up protect birth choices NOW and in the future.

I'm traveling from out of town. Is there any assistance with transport?

Yes. Once you register, you will be shown a few optional questions. Here you can indicate where you are traveling from and if you would be interested in carpooling. We will then put you in touch with others in your area to organise.

For more info, take a look at our FAQs below.
