Advocate with us
Join our community and help us raise awareness, educate and inform, and improve support to reduce the prevalence and impacts of birth-related trauma.
Advocacy can help create change for safer births and better healing. It can be performed in many ways, from contacting local MPs, reposting BTA messages on social media, or sharing information with friends and family.
You can even wear your message if you check out our BTA shop on RedBubble! If you do, we’d love to see it so make sure you snap a selfie in your gear and post it to our socials

Measuring what Matters to Australian Mothers (MMAMs): Developing Patient Reported Measures for Maternity Care
The Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care Commission would like to invite you to participate in the first phase of the Measuring what Matters to Australian Mothers (MMAMs) study, a series of three online surveys that will help to improve the safety and quality of maternity care across Australia. This study is being led by A/Prof Zoe Bradfield at Curtin University, and the Commission is a research partner.
You can access the survey here.
You may choose to participate in one, two or all three of the surveys. The first survey is expected to take about 30 minutes to complete. Recruitment closes this Sunday 20th July 2025.
Please see the flyer attached for more information or please contact the MMAMs Project Manager, Dr Lauren Spark, lauren.spark@curtin.edu.au
Our vision is 'Safer Births and Better Healing'.
Our mission is to amplify the voices of parents and health professionals to better prevent, diagnose, manage and treat birth-related trauma. We are proud of our role in championing this approach.
Involving advocates enables the BTA to broaden the reach of our awareness-raising and trauma prevention work and to offer a variety of ways in which people can access support.
You can help increase community and professional understanding and work with us towards our vision for safer births and better healing. There are a few ways you can help; please complete the form below, and our advocacy coordinator will be in touch to discuss this opportunity further.
