Frequently Asked Questions

Financial investment

  • The exact price you pay will vary according to your currency, the exchange rate, local taxes and if you choose to pay up front or a payment plan.

    To find out the price that works best for you click here to go to the enrolment page, then choose from the following options:

    1. Choose price (Pay up front or payment plan)

    2. Choose currency (USD or AUD)

    3. Check the schedule of payments to see how much is due for each payment (including taxes if you are required to pay them) and the dates those payments will be due.

    You may also wish to use a currency converter, keeping in mind rates fluctuate over time.

  • The enrolment form will default to US dollars because we have students worldwide and US dollars are the most universally recognised currency.

    But when you enrol, you can change the currency to Aussie dollars if you prefer. Just click the little dropdown on the enrolment form next to “Choose price”.

  • We offer partial scholarships to make our training more accessible for people experiencing systemic disadvantage and to increase diversity in the postpartum industry. Because diversity makes us all stronger.

    The number of scholarships we give depends on the degree of need in our community and the financial capacity of Newborn Mothers.

    Please email the team support@newbornmothers.com if you'd like to be informed when scholarship applications are next open.

  • I'm one of those people who loves public speaking! However, I am committed to not flying for work for climate reasons.

    Instead, I love speaking online (live or pre-recorded) or at events at home in Western Australia. Unless you can cover my train fare to get to the Eastern States - if so, I’d love to come!

    I have experience speaking to small groups of 10 or less and at large national events with hundreds of people. I’ve spoken at the Melbourne Midwifery Society, Australian Doula Conference, Doula Network of Australia Annual Conference, Homebirth Australia Conference, the Radiance Perinatal and Infant Mental Health Symposium and more.

    Submit an enquiry via the contact form.

  • Yes. I have a lot of experience with public speaking and teaching, including at a couple of Universities and other training institutions.

    Additionally, my training are recognised by the Australian College of Midwives and other professional associations for continuing professional development points.

    The World Health Organisation recognises that the postnatal period is a critical phase in the lives of mothers and newborn babies. Yet, this is the most neglected period for the provision of quality care.

    I can teach online (live or pre-recorded) or face-to-face in Western Australia. I am committed to minimising travel for climate reasons.

    For my fees and topics please submit a contact form.
