Founded in 2016, Birth Trauma Australia (BTA), formerly the Australasian Birth Trauma Association (ABTA), is Australia's leading charity dedicated to preventing, diagnosing, and treating birth-related trauma. We are a peer-led organisation working with women, birthing people,  families and healthcare professionals who are impacted by birth-related trauma. Over the past nine years, we have gained unique and valuable insights into the nature, scope, and impact of birth-related trauma through:

• Working directly with families and health professionals;

• Implementing our highly successful peer-to-peer support program,

• Conducting community engagement activities;

• Undertaking lived-experience-led research

Since launch, Birth Trauma Australia has provided:

• Nationally trusted health information on physical and psychological birth-related trauma

• Referral pathways to specialist medical, allied health, and peer support services.

• Practical tools and fact sheets for clinicians, workplaces, and families.

• Lived-experience stories to reduce isolation and stigma.

• Online peer support services for women+, partners, and families.

Our vision is for safer births and better healing.
