We are thrilled to see the Federal Governments strong commitment to Women, especially funding for maternal healthcare initiatives through the Budget. Nation wide work on preterm birth prevention has been happening with excellent results over the past two years and it’s incredible to see additional funding to reach the remaining hospitals over the next two years.
We were recently involved in the showcase in Canberra for the Breakthrough Collaborative. This was such a marvellous celebration of the work completed to date but also highlighted the work still to be done, especially for our First Nations families.
More information about the seven interventions for the prevention of preterm birth can be found on the Alliance website.
