Still Aware is a charity organisation which attempts to raise awareness of stillbirth[1] as a national issue in Australia, since stillbirth rates in the country are high for a developed nation.[2] It is Australia's first stillbirth awareness organization[3] and the first not-for-profit charity solely dedicated to ending preventable stillbirths.[4]
Mission edit
The organization is committed to raising awareness and breaking the taboo surrounding stillbirth, encouraging parents to speak of their experiences.[5] It also works towards preventing stillbirth through education for mothers, families and health clinics. They actively lobby for stillbirth to be listed and remain on the policy agenda at a national level in Australia. It works to gather and report data of care provisions already offered internationally, but which are not offered to Australian patients yet.[6]
