Every year, around 110,000 Australians have a miscarriage. 2,200 more endure the pain of stillbirth, 600 lose their baby in the first 28 days after birth and many more face the grief of termination for medical reasons.

October is a time for Australia to break the silence and acknowledge the heartbreak happening too often right now.

On the 15th of October, parents and families across Australia honour their babies who passed away from miscarriage, stillbirth or postnatal causes.

To lose a baby is an agonizing heartache we wish no one would have to go through.

| NEWS ALERT |
Today the Australian Federal Government announced that they will be committing $7m to stillbirth!

Stillbirth rates have not changed in over two decades but today, with this financial commitment there is a new sense of hope on the horizon for bereaved and expectant families alike.

“In the 25 years since my daughter Emma’s stillbirth the stillbirth rates in Australia have barely changed but tonight the Australian government have finally made commitments to strategies that will certainly save babies lives, congratulations to all involved” - Emma’s mother, Associate Professor Jane Warland (Still Aware board member)

Thank you to the Greg Hunt MP Nicolle Flint Member for Boothby Senator Jim Molan and Liberal Party of Australia with much needed funding for stillbirth awareness, education, research and support we can journey to end preventable stillbirth in Australia
