healthservicesdaily.com.au/a… Another private maternity unit to close. Urgent action is needed!#pregnancy#privatematernitycare#NASOG

abc.net.au/news/2024-06-09/r… The word obstetrician doesn’t even appear!!! That is the problem. Minister’s solution is to create a new admin role for a “ chief midwife’ and external review headed by a midwife. # pregnantwomenneedobstetricians

Broad support ( and applause) from the room at the AMA colleges societies and associations for the federal government ending gender based discrimination allowing private insurers to pay double what men have to for reproductive health care! End the gender inequity.#healthequality

Its lovely when the people on the panel you are presenting with are old friends. Thanks for the invite AGES Advocacy is an important part of being a doctor and NASOG takes advocating for women’s health very seriously.

Need clear, safe pathways to deal with complications before allowing nurses and midwives to prescribe medical abortion pill. Access must be increased but not at expense of safety. #nasog #womenshealth abc.net.au/radio/programs/am…

Gender bias in healthcare: Women pay $300 more for insurance than men couriermail.com.au/news/quee… via @couriermail

At RANZCOG Rural Women’s Health Roundtable Rural maternity services greatest challenge is staff. Reasons for difficulty listed by panel as being treatment dished out to staff,work life balance, indemnity issues, models of care that staff want to work in. Honest frank discussion.

Partners of doctors working regionally need to be considered. Although important, its about more than just money. Culture and treatment of staff is key. #regionalmaternityroundtable
