  ACM NSW Branch Midwife of the Year 2012 Nominations
Once again the Australian College of Midwives NSW Branch is calling for nominations for NSW Midwife of the Year. This is a very special award for midwives as it enables midwives to nominate midwives whom they felt have contributed to and enhanced the progression of midwifery. It is a wonderful opportunity to put forward a midwife who may not be as prominent as others but is helping midwifery in a special way. This may be at a local level or further afield. Our sponsors Huggies are again assuring a fabulous prize. 

Please see our nomination guidelines

HUNTER VALLEY MIDWIVES FUNCTION
The  Hunter Valley Midwives Association has organised a movie screening of "Guerrilla Midwife" with a cheese and wine night and would love you, your friends and family to come.
This is a globally acclaimed, award-winning documentary that takes you along the fragrant streets of Bali and desolate Acehnese refugee camps of the Indonesian Archipelago, where, Midwife-Ibu Robin Lim finds herself at a time and place where midwifery is put to the test. This culturally mesmerizing, and sometimes heart-wrenching documentary vividly demonstrates why we must change our protocols for pregnancy and childbirth, and return to a gentle, natural method.
This is a fund raiser and is sure to be a great evening.
Please e mail me if you have any questions or have a look on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/#!/events/132091376909716/

Birth Kit Packing Day!Birth Kit Packing Day! - Sunday, 1 May 2011
Hello Students!!

On Sunday May 1, 2011 a group of worker bee's organised by student midwives at UTS organised for birth kits to be packed and sent out to third world countries to help with the atrocious rates of women and babies dying as a result of childbirth or complications associated with childbirth.

The Birthing Kit Foundation of Australia (BKFA) provides the birthing kits and education in clean birthing practices to women and families in these countries.

Congratulations to everyone that attended or donated time or money to the cause. It took just on 2 hours to pack 600 kits that will be sent this week to Kandahar in Afghanistan.
