Hi, I'm Mel
I knew the system was broken since my first year as a student midwife back in 2008. The hospital was policy dominated and research was not used to inform practice.
I'm a rebellious Midwife because dedicated to providing evidence-based maternity care. I am a Dr of Midwifery and I am on a mission to help Midwives all over the world to be part of the change needed at the grassroots of maternity care.
It's time to rebel and be a part of the change instead of the system.

Why The Assembly?
We know that you want to be a brilliant care provider and give evidence-based woman-centred care. In order to do that, you need to learn the research, surround yourself with a like-minded community, and be supported to enact change. The problem is most maternity care systems promote medicalised fear-based policy-centred care, which makes you feel frustrated and mentally exhausted as you move between supporting the women and fulfilling your obligations to your employer.
We believe evidence-based woman-centred care is possible and worth the effort. We understand how current authoritative knowledge and those who promote it over-power and at times abuse women in the maternity system, which is why we are assembling the rebels. To stand up against this kind of maternity care.
Here is how we do it. Firstly, we attract and educate Midwives who know that something is not right with current maternity care. Then we grow our power by gathering a community of other rebels who can share wisdom, stories and rebellious skills. Finally, we hone our Midwifery and care skills so we become so good they can't ignore us.
So, join the assembly of rebellious Midwives. Stop going it alone and join a movement towards change... one Midwife at a time.
