OUR GAME-CHANGING HOMEBIRTH SURVEY

Homebirth NSW 
Your voice matters. Your experience in choosing where to birth matters. Your responses to our survey are a step towards advocating for what birthing families want. 

Have your say & help expand homebirth services nationally 
             
We have a game-changing, short survey live now, and would love it if you could add your voice.
Please click here to tell us about your experience accessing and planning a homebirth in your area, wherever you are in Australia.
Whether you ended up choosing a planned homebirth or not, your response matters! We want to hear from anyone who has actively considered a homebirth in the past, even if you didn't ultimately choose homebirth. We're interested in exposing the limitations and barriers to homebirth, as well as any perceived shortfalls of the hospital maternity system versus homebirth. 
We'll use the results to highlight the issues in our advocacy efforts, working towards more choice and more availability of homebirth for women and families in all parts of Australia. That's gotta be worth 10 minutes of your time, right?! 
By telling your story through surveys like this we hope to see:

• public-funded homebirth programs introduced in more hospitals across Australia
• existing public-funded homebirth programs expanded to cater to more women and babies
• medicare rebates for intrapartum care provided by Privately Practising Midwives, to make homebirth more affordable
• increased understanding and normalisation of homebirth as a safe and highly satisfying birth choice.

The survey takes no more than 10 minutes to complete and is completely confidential.
Thanks for participating, your responses are deeply valued: click here!
