Professional Referral Partners
Find informed, values-aligned professionals committed to supporting women+ and partners affected by birth-related trauma.
Parents affected by birth-related trauma may need support from a range of professionals throughout their recovery. Finding the right provider can be difficult, particularly when someone is already feeling vulnerable, overwhelmed or unsure where to begin.
Birth Trauma Australia’s Professional Referral Partner directory helps women+, families and communities identify organisations that have demonstrated a commitment to understanding birth-related trauma and improving the way they support people affected by it.
Professional Referral Partners complete required BTA’s education, agree to our partnership standards and participate in an annual review process. By working together, we aim to create clearer, safer and more informed referral pathways while strengthening professional capability across the broader support network.
