CALL FOR ABSTRACTS is
now closed.
Important notice: Thank
you to everyone who sent in an abstract. The numbers of
excellent abstracts we received was very exciting and
made the task all the more difficult for the review committee.
As a result we have offered a number of people the opportunity
to present their information as a poster where we are
unable to offer an oral presentation place.
We look forward to seeing
you all in Alice Springs.
Submissions are invited from individuals
or collaborative groups based on the suggested topics
outlined below. The Call for Abstracts will provide
you with the more detailed requirements and the instructions
on how and where to submit your abstract.
These conference themes can include topics such as:
Indigenous maternal health
The role of simulation training for obstetric emergencies
Fear and childbirth
Risk management - responsibilities, challenges and opportunities
Maternal risk factors
Collaborative teams - now and in the future
Mental health and childbirth

The Call
for Abstracts can be downloaded from here.
There is a limit of two abstract submissions
per presenting author. You are asked to indicate which
abstract topic you are submitting under and whether
you feel your abstract would have some overlap with
another abstract topic.
This will assist the organisers to plan session which
may have crossover.
The organising committee has also provided
the option of submitting papers for the poster session.
Where a submission is recieved for an abstract and poster
on the same topic from the same author the decision
regarding acceptance of both or either is at the discretion
of the organising committee.
