Title: Safe and Sustainable Maternity Services for Rural Women: Australia Wide Post-card campaign
|
Justine!
I am not a woman from a rural area as yet but will
be in the not too distant future! I am more than happy to send a postcard
and will get everyone I know to send them whether they live in rural areas or
not! Further it seems that Camden must now be considered rural or regional
as services to birth your baby at Camden maternity or in their birth centre look
likely to close on the 24th of January. This is even endorsed by our
acting director of midwifery. So i will suggest this to everyone who is
joining our Friends of Camden Maternity group.
Good luck with the campaign!!!

Dear All
Sorry
for such a request so close to Christmas, but it can be saved for the New Year
as long as you promise not to forget.
Many rural women do not have
access to a safe or sustainable maternity service and many rural families are
suffering emotionally and financially. Although Maternity Coalition is
working hard for all women to access best practice maternity care, rural areas
need urgent attention.
If you live in a rural or regional area please
take the time to visit the Maternity Coalition website and print out the
postcard and then sent it to Deputy Prime Minister and Leader of the National
Party, John Anderson. I met with Mr Anderson in July, where he undertook
to get back to us on the solutions we presented for returning maternity
services to rural areas. Since then his office refuses to speak with me
or answer written correspondence. It is obvious this issue is too hard,
but it also highlights their contempt for the plight of new rural families. We
have a positive solution that will support so many more rural families, but Mr
Anderson needs to know that Maternity Coalition’s work is
supported.
Here’s the link

You
will need to print front and back and stick it together and send. A
little painful, but the best way for us to get our message wide and
far.
PLEASE FORWARD THIS MESSAGE TO ANYONE YOU KNOW LIVING IN
RURAL/REGIONAL AUSTRALIA WHO SUPPORTS SAFE AND SUSTAINABLE MIDWIFERY
CARE.
Kind
regards
Justine
