Events

The RPA Women and Babies Midwifery and Nursing Research Unit convenes a conference focussing on complex care in midwifery at least every two years. We may also hold other events in the alternate year.

With support from the Susan Wakil School of Nursing and Midwifery at the University of Sydney, we are able to invite internationally recognised midwives to present at the midwifery conference and engage in pre-conference work with our staff.

The next conference is anticipated to be in 2020
