More than one-third of women giving birth in Australia are refugees or migrants, who have poorer pregnancy and childbirth experiences and outcomes compared to Australian-born women. This project uses an intersectional lens to explore how lived experiences of gender inequality, racism, and migration contribute to social disadvantage and poor experiences of maternal health. A participatory research approach will be used to engage with refugee and migrant women and provide them with an opportunity to share their stories in their own voices. Knowledge generated will increase understanding of why these women have poorer pregnancy and childbirth experiences, and potential solutions will be co-developed to address these inequalities in the future.Read moreRead less

This project aims to address an absence of true representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and knowledges in nursing and midwifery. Significantly it intends to co-create an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nurse and midwife theory and principles for practice. An anticipated goal of the research is to better understand how the theory and practice can be implemented in nurse and midwifery education (inclusive of clinical settings) in regional and urban areas. The intended outcome is to provide improved cultural safety in nursing and midwifery, greater cultural safety for health consumers and; stronger recruitment and retention of Indigenous nurses and midwives.
