Stillbirth Statistics Stay Still
The most recent AIHW Mother's and Baby's Report shows once again that the stillbirth rate has not changed. Currently 1 baby is stillborn in every 134 births. This means that over 2000 babies are stillborn every year in Australia. This does not take into account the current "baby boom" and the confronting truth that more babies will die if we don't find out why.
Stillbirth in the media
We are very excited about the level of media coverage generated as a result of our work with our supporters in the media, in response to the release of the latest research funded by the Stillbirth Foundation Australia.

Improving Maternity Services in Australia
The Rudd Government is conducting a comprehensive review of maternity services in Australia canvassing a range of issues associated with the services across the spectrum of care including antenatal services, birthing options, postnatal services up to six weeks after birth, and peer and social support for women in the prenatal and postnatal periods. The Stillbirth Foundation congratulates the Minister for Health and Ageing, Nicola Roxon MP, for instigating this review and is pleased to have the opportunity to comment.
