Empowering You to Advocate for the Respectful, Collaborative Maternity Care You Deserve
 
What is it?
The Collaborative Care Card is a beautifully designed, double-sided card created to support you in navigating the maternity care system with confidence and clarity. Whether you're feeling uncertain, unheard, or simply want to ensure your care aligns with best practices, this card is here to back you up.
 
What's on the Card?
💛 Side One: Doctors & Collaborative Care
Features excerpts from the Medical Board of Australia’s “Good Medical Practice: A Code of Conduct for Doctors”, outlining a doctor’s legal and ethical responsibility to provide collaborative, respectful, and patient-centred care.
💛 Side Two: Midwives & Empowered Support
Includes key statements from the Midwife Standards for Practice and the International Code of Ethics for Midwives, reinforcing the duty of midwives to work in partnership with women and uphold their right to informed, empowered decision-making.
 
How to Use It
🤲 Hand it to your care provider at any stage of your pregnancy, birth, or postpartum journey — especially in moments where you feel your voice isn’t being fully heard. Let the card speak on your behalf.
💬 Use it as a talking point to guide conversations, advocate for yourself, or simply as a reminder that you have rights, and they are backed by national and international care standards.
🕊️ Pass it forward. When your journey is complete, gift your card to another mumma. Let’s build a movement of shared empowerment, one woman at a time.
 
Why It Matters
Too many women feel dismissed, pressured, or silenced during their pregnancy and birth experiences. This card is more than paper — it's a tool for change, a reminder of your right to be seen, heard, and respected.
Because collaborative care isn’t optional — it’s a legal obligation.
 
💫 You are not asking for too much.
You're asking for what’s right. 💫
