The protection and growth of the passion of woman-centred care is fundamental to gold-standard care. My personal clinical practice journey has identified a direct link between the cascade of mentorship and leadership in midwifery practice. My reflective voice aims to share with you my reflection of a journey of flowers of symbols of our profession. I asked colleagues to paint or draw a flower for me and then I explored the symbol or meaning of that flower to inform my reflection. The intention of this piece is to provide you with the gift of using flowers for your personal reflection.

This article explores how midwives in leadership positions can be equipped to contribute to maternity care reform through improving the access that women and birthing families in Australia have to Midwifery Continuity of Care (MCoC). Drawing from findings of a recent Australian qualitative study into the topic, principles for increasing midwifery leadership skills, exploring personal commitment to improving maternity care and establishing relationships with key stakeholders are discussed. Current midwifery leaders as well as the leaders of the future have an important role to play in the expansion of MCoC and strengthening of the midwifery profession.

This article provides an overview of the origin and history of the Trans-Tasman Midwifery Education Consortium (TTMEC) that consists of midwifery academics across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand. The article will cover the consortium’s aim, vision, work, current research projects, future directions and conferences past and planned. The TTMEC includes representatives from 27 member organisations who meet every month to address and discuss key issues and aspects of midwifery education. I am writing this article as the former chair of this consortium, a role I held from March 2021 to March 2022. My co-chair was Andrea Gilkison from Aotearoa New Zealand.

This article is a reflection of the process undertaken to embed the concept of strengths-based perspectives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’s health and wellness into the pre-registration program for student midwives and nurses. In years past the subject has been taught from an exceedingly negative perspective. This was a desperate bid to encourage non-indigenous nurses and midwives to care. Following the example given by Boler in the Pedagogy of Discomfort1 it was an attempt to engage the empathy of student nurses and midwives.

The birth of a new life holds significance across all cultures, communities, families and parents. Human newborns, like many infant mammals, are born sentient, learning and expectant of love, nourishment and nurturing relationships.1 Healthy infants are born with unique adaptations that optimise their survival, prompting care-giving behaviours in their mothers and/or parents.2 Understanding what neonates need is important to midwives and those caring for families, at birth and in the weeks and months that follow. In this topic highlight, we look at the newborn’s sensory needs with a focus on human consciousness, connections and care.

Waminda, located on the South Coast in New South Wales, provides a holistic and culturally-safe service for Indigenous women and their families. Maternity care at Waminda is known as Minga Gudjaga, and through this service, Elders and Aunties enact thousands of years of Indigenous knowledge to ensure the cultural safety and health of Minga (mothers) and Gudjaga (babies).1 A clinical placement at Waminda for one Indigenous midwifery student proved pivotal to her growth and vision as a midwife and an Aboriginal woman.
