Hi Andrea
I suggest forwarding this to Elaine Dietsch who heads the school of midwifery at Charles Sturt ... there may be some lecturers and students there who would be willing to form a Charles Sturt midwifery clinic and offer a home birth service, perhaps in collaboration with clinicians at Griffith, Leeton and Wagga Wagga?
I often get requests from the Riverina and can never put the women in contact with ANYONE!!
There must be some midwives down there willing to form a group practice?
The two women concerned may be willing to form a Riverina Group of the Maternity Coalition and get the power of the larger group behind them in their quest.
They could then write to the Minister, Mr John Hatzistergos to ask him if he knows there in no ONE-TO-ONE M IDWIFERY CARE on offer anywhere in their area other than YOU????
Just a thought

There is definitively something happening in Griffith. I have had two women call me from Griffith in the last two weeks wanting a homebirth. I am willing to go there ( a bit over three hours from Echuca) but was wondering if anyone knows someone living closer who might be interested in being involved. Any suggestions. I was laso wondering what uni is doing mid up that way whether there was any mid students interested.
