Whatever you're doing right now (and I know it's reading this, so I know you've got the time) put it on hold for half an hour (if that). Instead, write an email outlining your objections to the current draft legislation which will push homebirth midwifery underground in Australia.
It might sound scary, but it's not. You don't have to write a maternity services review. You don't have to know all the ins and outs of the legislation. You just need to communicate your view that homebirth should be an option for Australian families.
Send it to nraip@dhs.vic.gov.au today or tomorrow before 5pm.
