To support women/persons to have autonomy, respect, great empathetic and emotional care and support and to be positively supported in all and any decisions they wish to make for themselves and their baby (NOTE: for baby-care-decisions this would include equal input with any other parent).

We appreciate that Birth Trauma rates are too high. We work hard to support women before and after birth to heal from trauma and to be heard emotionally and fully. We appreciate that Trauma is solely defined by a womans' experience and feeling and is very individual to her and her internal (and external) state. Birth Trauma can be physical, emotional, mental and/or spiritual.

The mother (and other parent - if involved) share equal decision making in wellbeing decisions for their child. We support the importance of creating a safe space where persons can bring up any topic without shame, attack or judgement. We support the right for parents to make fully informed decisions.

We appreciate that all places of birth endeavour to provide expert care of a high standard, and that all places of birth can also, on occasion, provide substandard care and even neglectful care. We support women to make complaints and take action in cases of neglect. We also want women who are planning for their births to understand that their birth outcomes are MOST highly related to their level of knowledge, preparation and use of their legal rights to make fully informed decisions, not as related to their choice of where THEY BIRTH. Having said that, certain models of care do have different statistical variations and if a woman is interested to investigate the outcomes and statistics of a Hospital she may choose to look through the latest Mother and Babies Report.

We believe that freebirth should never be promoted or suggested to a pregnant woman. We believe that promoting or suggesting freebirth to a woman who is desiring or seeking a medical care provider could endanger the woman or her baby. We support womens' autonomy and legal right to choose where and with whom she births her baby. We devote time, energy and activism into asking the government to fund great quality one to one continual care for women and babies for optimal birth outcomes. for all women.

We dream that all women can be fully, expertly supported to birth, bond and breastfeed with their babies as close to nature as possible (if they so desire). We appreciate that some women desire other choices and we support the autonomy and choice of all women for what they are comfortable with/not comfortable with. We also appreciate that sadly, many mother baby dyads have a very interrupted birth, bonding and early breastfeeding experience and that this can contribute to extremely difficult breastfeeding journeys which can lead to formula being required or desired. We fully support the woman to choose what can be best for her, in her own personal circumstances, struggles, supports and needs.
