Hello Joy
I initially went oh great another ANF conference to labour through! Curious despite myself I looked up the list of speakers to see yours truly and another remarkable midwife who was recognised this year with the Hesta Nurse of the Year award. So I hereby eat a small share of humble pie and concede that the line up I would find very entertaining and interesting to listen to!

haha Janie!
My topic is the 'legal and professional responsibilities of a homebirth midwife'. Not sure what I will be able to say - depending on what we know at the time about the likely status of homebirth and private midwifery. I am also interested in knowing more about the Victorian government's promised model homebirth projects - have written to the health minister about that.
Beth Wilson (Health Services Commissioner) is always worth listening to, and I hope Denise Scott is able to find the baby in the bathwater!
Midwives need the political muscle of the union as we demand fairness for all workers including midwives from out federal and state governments.
