The Stillbirth Clinical Care Standard provides guidance on how to reduce preventable stillbirth, and how to offer the best bereavement care.
The care Australians receive throughout their pregnancy journey is set to improve with the release today of the first national standard on stillbirth.
Each year, more than 2,000 Australian families experience the tragic and painful loss of a baby to stillbirth. In the past two decades, statistics have remained steady with, on average, six babies stillborn every day.
