CATSINaM are proud to announce the signing of a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Australian College of Midwives.

This partnership reaffirms our shared commitment to improving the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families and communities, and formalises our commitment to elevating the voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander midwives in order to strengthen this vital workforce.

"CATSINaM are delighted to strengthen our collaboration with ACM through a shared Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander midwifery advisory group. This group of exceptional Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander midwives and students will provide critical strategic advice on separate and joint CATSINaM and ACM initiatives. This alignment will help us to achieve our shared goal of supporting midwives to provide culturally safe high-quality care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and families through their pregnancy and birth journey. " - Prof Cath Chamberlain, CATSINaM Chief Midwifery Officer

4 August is National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children's Day.

The 2025 theme Little Footsteps, Big Future honours the journeys First Nations children take as they grow—each step guided by culture, community and connection to Country.

SNAICC-National Voice for our Children is the national peak body representing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. SNAICC’s vision is for First Nations children to thrive, be strong in culture and connected to kin and community— children should be proud to come from the oldest living culture in the world.

It’s an opportunity for all Australians to show their support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and learn about the impact that culture, family and community play in the life of every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander child.
