We’re so proud to finally share this story!

During COVID, Monash Casey's public homebirth program was forced to close. When the decision was made to restart it, MAMA was approached to form a public–private partnership to help bring the program back to life.

Through this collaboration, MAMA midwives facilitated homebirths alongside Monash midwives, supporting them to gain the experience required for credentialing. We are deeply grateful to the generous families who welcomed Monash midwives into their homebirths, your trust and contribution made this possible.

Monash midwives were required to attend a set number of homebirths to meet Victorian accreditation standards, and we were honoured to support them through this process.

The result? The Monash public homebirth program is now officially recommenced!

This partnership is a powerful example of what’s possible when public services and private midwifery practices work together. Expanding access to care for parents, building workforce capability, and ensuring women and families have real choices about where and how they give birth.

We'll write up a blog post soon with some more detail, because we’re incredibly proud of the Monash midwives, thankful to the families involved, and honoured to have played a role in bringing a public homebirth programme back!

"Having an empowered birth experience myself, I am privileged to support our beautiful midwives and allied health professionals do what they do best - empower and support women & women's health. I am passionate about work that matters and making my work matter."
