Australia Releases First National Guidelines on Early Pregnancy Loss

This week, the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RANZCOG) released Australia’s first national clinical guidelines for early pregnancy loss — including miscarriage, recurrent miscarriage, and ectopic pregnancy.

This is a big step forward in women’s healthcare. The new guidelines aim to:
• Provide clear, evidence-based care standards across the country
• Redefine recurrent miscarriage as two or more losses (not just three in a row)
• Emphasise empathy and emotional support during treatment

Every year, more than 100,000 Australian couples experience miscarriage. Until now, care varied widely depending on where someone lived or which doctor they saw. These guidelines help ensure no one is left to go through this experience alone or unsupported.

Let’s keep breaking the silence around miscarriage and advocating for compassionate, consistent care.

If you or someone you know is going through early pregnancy loss, remember — you’re not alone. There is help, and there is hope.
