Where To Start
We recognise that you have found Birth Trauma Australia because something isn’t right. Our goal is to give you the confidence to name your symptoms and seek the right help to suit your needs.
Firstly, try to identify if your symptoms are impacting your mental health; maybe you’re experiencing ongoing physical challenges or both, as the care pathway you take will be different. Secondly, you are not alone and seeking help is the first step towards being kind to yourself. The longer you delay seeking support, the more stress you place on yourself.

For Women+
The delivery of a baby can be a positive experience for many families, but for others it can be negative, resulting in physical and/or psychological injuries (trauma). We are here to support you with an understanding, non-judgemental ear, evidence-based information, and guidance on steps you can take to move you forward on your journey. We hear you.
For Fathers and Partners
We recognise the important role that fathers and partners play in the lives of women+ affected by psychological and/or physical birth-related trauma and acknowledge the trauma those fathers and partners experience themselves during a traumatic birth. We hope this information encourages fathers and partners to seek help and understand they are not alone.
