Australia’s inaugural Respectful Maternity Care conference to address birth trauma

Hosted by the Maternity Consumer Network, the Respectful Maternity Care conference will be held on 6-7 March 2026 in Brisbane, and online for interstate and international attendees.

The hybrid event will unite maternity consumers, midwives, obstetricians, researchers and healthcare professionals to champion equity, dignity and cultural safety in maternity services.  

Supported by gold sponsor Queensland Nurses and Midwives’ Union (QNMU, ANMF Queensland Branch), the two-day program features peer-reviewed keynote addresses, workshops, oral presentations and poster sessions, covering a spectrum of topics from perinatal mental health to culturally safe care. 

An entire day will be exclusive for presenters from First Nations, migrant, refugee and culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
