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.

New Research Finds One Third of Stillbirths are Preventable
The Stillbirth Foundation is pleased to be able to share the news that the Literature Review Project, lead by Australian and New Zealand Stillbirth Alliance Researcher, Vicki Flenady, has released some of its findings about modifiable risk factors. It's exciting that a relatively small spend of our funds is already producing results and scientists are ready, willing and able to conduct research. Thank you to our donors and supporters who have enabled the Stillbirth Foundation to fund this project.
Talking about stillbirth: a male perspective
University of Newcastle (NSW) Honours student researcher, Shari Bonnette, has recognised there is little research available that explores men's perspectives of stillbirth. To address this she is currently undertaking social research on men's experience of stillbirth, with a focus specifically on grief, identity and support networks.
To participate in this research project you must be male, aged over 18 years, and whose female partner has experienced stillbirth between 6 months and 3 years ago.
