Welcome and Invitation to Sponsor

C&N projectpeople believe in quality education at a reasonable cost for the midwifery practitioner. Every two years, we send out our call for abstracts to attract practitioners working in the many related midwifery fields, to come and share their passions with other midwifery colleagues. New trends, new research, workshops, debates all contribute to the body of midwifery knowledge. The program over the three days will offer many choices for the attending midwives with over 60 speakers from around Australia and overseas. A virtual one stop education feast!

The midwives who come to the Expo are keen innovators in their fields. The midwives come from large city hospitals, remote desert regions in Australia, country hospitals, independent practicing midwives and overseas from New Zealand, PNG and Asia.

This presents a great opportunity for sponsors to reach many practitioners from numerous settings. The midwives take back to their organisations reports and news of new practices and new equipment currently available.

C&N would like to invite companies that have some interest in providing products for midwives in their work, or mothers and babies to become involved and consider sponsorship at the Third Biennial Australasian Midwifery Expo in Brisbane.

Expected number of delegates is 400.
