THE
"BIG LIST" OF HOMEBIRTH MIDWIVES, DOULAS,
AND OTHER BIRTH ATTENDANTS, IN QUEENSLAND AND NORTHERN
NSW
*** Disclaimer ***
Please
read the following statement before continuing:
The Home Midwifery Association is a Queensland, not-for-profit
and volunteer-based organisation managed mostly by stay-at-home
Mums who have had (or support) homebirths. Administration
of the organisation is funded by membership to the HMA
and various fundraising activities we undertake (in
between pregnancy, birthing and mothering!)
Practitioners
who choose to list with us do so free of charge and
self select their title/category and geographic area. The
HMA cannot verify nor does it guarantee the qualifications,
skills or experience of any of the practitioners listed.
All
HMA recommended midwives practise according to standards
endorsed by our Association. However, this Association
bears no responsibility for the birthing woman's choice
of midwife or her decision to birth at home. Refer to
the HMA constitution - copies available on request.
Women
are encouraged to make informed choices and to take
responsibility for their birthing decisions.
HOMEBIRTH
IS LEGAL IN QUEENSLAND, there are however restrictions
on those who can provide care for a birthing woman choosing
homebirth. For information regarding this legislation
and other information about the registration of midwives
please visit www.qnc.qld.gov.au.
