Re: [ozmidwifery] Fw: PI Insurance - urgent - more interested midwives needed

[Lisa Barrett]

Hi Andrea,   I have already emailed Barb Vernon but have not received a reply at all.  I homebirthed in Britain for 14 years before coming here and I must say that although independent's have no insurance at the moment there  it doesn't prevent or hinder the homebirth movement fear does that way more successfully than lack of insurance..  The biggest horror is that it leaves these midwives as us vulnerable to complaints not so much from clients but other professionals.  I was looking for a discussion on how it actually works .  I have read what's available but wanted to know what others think in more detail.  Here seems a great place to discuss it.   Lisa ----- Original Message ----- From: Andrea Quanchi To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Sent: Tuesday, September 05, 2006 8:47 AM Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] Fw: PI Insurance - urgent - more interested midwives needed Lisa Nothing is set in concrete yet but we need 200 names to be able to move forward. There is a meeting today in Melbourne and have been other meetings around the country. I suggest you ring Barb Vernon at  ACMI and she can give you the relevant info for your state Andrea On 05/09/2006, at 8:24 AM, Lisa Barrett wrote:
