Question for you as a doula do you get paid for your services or is a gratis/honorarium. I think that she would ask these questions   From: owner-ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au [mailto:owner-ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au] On Behalf Of Honey Acharya Sent: Thursday, 9 November 2006 3:03 PM To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] doula   There are a number of different courses to choose from. All have fees for the training but they vary in what is covered and what is charged so it is worth checking them out and finding which one suits her best. Some of it will also depend where she lives as some require you to attend whereas others are online or via correspondence. The ones I know of are   Childbirth International (Distance learning option) Rhea Dhempsey ?? (Melbourne) Birthing Rites (Sydney) Birth Central Optimum Birth (Distance learning option) Capers Bookstore also host DONA training I believe ??   check out http://www.childbirthinternational.com/BecomeDoula/Compare/compareaus.htm it has a comparison of three of them   I'm sure others will also respond with other options.   Regards Honey Acharya Student Midwife BMid UniSA Certified Doula - Childbirth International ----- Original Message ----- From: sharon To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Sent: Thursday, November 09, 2006 1:54 PM Subject: [ozmidwifery] doula   Could anyone enlighten me is there a course for doulas in Australia. Iam  a midwife and I have a friend who has had 2 years of mid training but due to circumstances was unable to finish her training. She would like to continue working as a support person with pregnant and labouring women. Also is there a fee involved for the service provided.   Thankyou in advance
