Homebirth Australia: Where to Next?

We're at a crossroads, and we need your wisdom.

Homebirth Australia exists because of people like you—parents who've chosen this path, midwives who've championed it, and advocates who've fought for it. Now we're asking: what matters most? Where should we focus our energy, resources, and collective fire over the next two years?

This survey takes about 10 minutes. Answer what resonates, skip what doesn't. Your honest feedback—the critical bits included—will shape everything we do next.

The Conference (our flagship gathering)
  The conference has been our heartbeat—a place for connection, learning, and occasionally crying in the bathroom because someone finally gets it. It costs a lot of money and takes a lot of woman power to run. We need to know if it's worth it.  
  3. Have you attended before?  
Clear selection
  4. How valuable is the conference to you (or would it be)?  
Clear selection
  5. How often should we hold it?  
Clear selection
  6. What would make you more likely to attend—or attend again?  
Think: location, cost, virtual options, childcare, topics, vibes, accessibility needs, anything.  
7. Dream conference: what would blow your mind?
Topics? Speakers? Formats? A giant ball pit? (Okay, maybe not that.) 
Advocacy (the sometimes uncomfortable, always necessary work)  
 Homebirth shouldn't require bravery, but it does. Advocacy—whether it's changing policy, challenging hospitals, or amplifying voices—is how we shift that.  
  8. How central should advocacy be to our work?

The Big Picture
17. If you were running Homebirth Australia, what would your top three priorities be?
Don't hold back. We can take it.

Wild ideas, gentle critiques, things we haven't asked but should have—lay it on us.  
  20. Want to get more involved?  
Yes—here's my email: ________________
No, but I'm here in spirit 
Ask me again later
