Returning childbirth back to community control
Nhaltjan limurr dhu djäka miyalkku galŋa-ŋonuŋgu limurruŋgiyingal wäŋaŋur: Thinking and talking about future aspirations for a community Yolŋu Birthing Space
Year granted: 2020
Organisation location: Galiwin’ku, NT
Themes: Connectedness, Child and maternal health
Project summary: Our project will begin to address the longstanding requests of our First Nations Yolŋu families to return childbirth back to our communities and our own control. We know that establishing a Yolŋu Birthing Space is a long journey, and we would like to start thinking about how our community can work together and build relationships with stakeholders and researchers to influence health system change and better meet our needs.
