Profile
Amy Dawes OAM
Amy is the co-founder and CEO of the Australasian Birth Trauma Association (ABTA), a charity helping to prevent, diagnose, and treat birth-related trauma.
A firm believer in collaboration, Amy has worked with parents and the wide range of health professionals involved in the care of birthing families to increase community understanding of birth-related trauma, provide support and education, conduct research, and advocate for change.
Even on a tiny budget and an almost entirely volunteer workforce, the ABTA delivers national support services for parents who have experienced birth related trauma. This includes online and face to face peer-led support services, antenatal education resources, and a growing body of advocacy work that includes the collection of critical data to shed light on this issue.
