Welcome to the Stillbirth Foundation Australia website and thank you for your interest in the stillbirth cause.

The Stillbirth Foundation works to reduce the incidence of stillbirth in Australia.

To achieve this goal, the Stillbirth Foundation operates with the aims to:
  1. fund and encourage research into stillbirth; and
  2. increase public awareness about stillbirth.
If you are a parent, family member or friend, whose baby has died, we offer you our deepest sympathy at this very sad time. Whilst the Stillbirth Foundation does not offer direct bereavement support, we hope that the information you find in this website will provide you with some comfort that something is being done to address the terrible tragedy that is stillbirth.

Emma McLeod receives an Order of Australia

For the Stillbirth Foundation Australia, the Queen's Birthday public holiday this year was a little more special. Traditionally the day is dedicated to commemorate the birth of a Queen, but this year we feel it was given over in some small way to mark the birth of so many who are not forgotten.

This year, Emma McLeod was recognised on the Queen's Birthday honours list with the title of OAM.

Emma was recognised for her herculean effort of founding and continuing to run the Stillbirth Foundation Australia, since its inception in October 2005.
