Our People
We have established national and international multidisciplinary collaborations, with world-renowned experts in stillbirth prevention and care...
The Centre of Research Excellence in Stillbirth (The Stillbirth CRE) is a national collaboration addressing the neglected tragedy of stillbirth. Through a priority driven program, the Stillbirth CRE aims to reduce the rate of stillbirth and improve care for parents and families whose baby is stillborn.
Stillbirth Senate Inquiry - call to families and professionals
We need to hear from parents, families and professionals. The Australian government will develop a National Action Plan to reduce stillbirth by 20% over the next three years. The Minister for Health will lead a roundtable of stakeholders on 12th February 2019 to assist the Government to develop this National Action Plan.
Movements Matter awareness campaign
If your baby's movement pattern changes during pregnancy, it may be a sign they are unwell. We're spreading the word to pregnant women and their care providers that #MovementsMatter. Follow @MovesMatter and visit the campaign website to learn more.
Our Goal
To reduce the number of stillbirths that occur after 28 weeks’ gestation, and to improve the quality of care received by families whose baby is stillborn.
PSANZ 2019 annual congress
Join us on the Gold Coast for the 2019 Perinatal Society of Australia and New Zealand (PSANZ) annual congress. Bringing professionals & families together to discuss research & best evidence for clinical care to enhance perinatal health.
AFFIRM Trial
The AFFIRM (Awareness of Fetal Movements and Care Package to Reduce Fetal Mortality) trial results were published in October 2018 (Norman et al., 2018). The randomised trial was carried out in the UK and Ireland, and aimed to test the hypothesis that the introduction of a reduced fetal movement (RFM) care package for pregnant women and clinicians would alter the incidence of stillbirth.
Fetal Growth Restriction workshops
Our FGR program provides educations for clinicians to improve antenatal detection and management of fetal growth restriction. This education program has been developed by a multidisciplinary team of clinical experts, and is the collaborative work of the Stillbirth CRE, PSANZ-SANDA and Mater Education.
