The APA and Australasian Birth Trauma Association - ABTA applaud the NSW Select Committee on Birth Trauma report on its recommendation for physiotherapy to treat birth injuries. The report recognises the multifaceted impact of birth trauma and the critical importance of pelvic health physiotherapy for birthing parents in antenatal care.

‘It is pleasing the Select Committee has called on the NSW Government to fund physiotherapy postpartum services to support those who acquire a pelvic floor injury during childbirth,’ said leading women’s health physiotherapist and APA Board director Catherine Willis, who gave evidence at the inquiry hearing.

‘If accepted by the NSW Government, this is an opportunity for strong health reform leadership with the potential to have broader implications nationally,’ Ms Willis said.
