To the Honourable President and members of the Senate in Parliament assembled: Planned national registration of all health professionals to take effect on July 1st 2010 will mean that midwives in private practice will be unable to seek registration on the basis of their inability to obtain professional indemnity insurance. One of the consequences of this is that home birth will no longer be legal.

by Senator Siewert (from 106 citizens)

Petition received.
