A world-first inquiry in NSW has now received more than four thousand submissions from women who have experienced significant trauma during birth.
After widespread consultation, a Select Committee on Birth Trauma has now made 43 recommendations, including the need for continuity of care for patients, informed consent and a greater focus on respectful and compassionate care instead of a “one-size-fits-all” approach.
