I fully encourage the Australian Government to make it law that Independant midwives can attend homebirths under an ongoing exemption to have PI insurance.

It's not about the midwives; but about women and free choice of birthplace!!

When as a woman will you understand my intelligence to make my own choices about my body. I had a wonderful midwife and had a glorious birth..

Preventing midwives from getting this insurance will remove the choice of having a home birth for so many women.

Home birth should be the norm not the exception. It has the best birth outcomes for low risk pregnancy. Look at the Netherlands!

I had 2 home births in Holland, where home births is normal and fully insured. Awesome experience, we should have it here!

Without midwives having insurance suitable for them to be able to support homebirth, many women who desire to homebirth with an eligible midwife will miss out on the most beneficial birth for them.

Women have the right to choose how they birth their children, what type of professional support they need and the space in which to bring children into the world with love and care rather than fear and control. Please consider what you are doing this action, birthing at home is a very natural way to have children

Qualified midwives. I had three healthy homebirths with top quality medical care. All healthy women should be allowed this option.

Home birth is an essential choice for birthing women and their families. The professionals assisting this choice need to be supported to ensure the safety of all involved.
