Free choice for pregnant women is the key, and it eases the burden and costs on hospitals.

No other profession would be held to ransom like this for so long. Thanks to Nicola Roxon in her parliamentary position and breaking a personal promise to me there has been no further progress. Midwives have the right to provide private personalised services the same as any other profession Time for reasonable decision making.

Why? Why? Why? Home birthing is an opportunity to choose: ur birth, ur way! We need midwives to help us along, not just at the hospital!

I support independent midwives. Let all women have a choice in childbirth. Please put in a permanent exemption or else make PI available and affordable for home births.

I believe it is important for women to have a choice in where they birth their children. Midwives need to be supported by PI insurance to enable them to help women birth at home with expert support and understanding. Please make sure that midwives can continue to do the work they are trained for. Thank you!

Motherhood is not on my cards today but the day I choose to have children I hope I also have the choice on where and how I give birth!
