Working with Indigenous Nations, WINDS Project
Working with Indigenous Nations to co-Design Stillbirth Awareness Resources
Still Aware is the only not-for-profit organisation in Australia dedicated to raising awareness of stillbirth. In this project we worked alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander mobs to surface knowledge that guided us towards important understandings around stillbirth awareness and risks in order to carry and birth a baby safely.
This project existed because statistics identify high rates of stillbirth in Aboriginal communities. Currently, research shows Aboriginal women experience stillbirth at 2-3 times the rate as non-Aboriginal women.
The Department of Health and Aged Care awarded a grant to Still Aware to work with Indigenous mobs across Australia. We travelled over 90,000kms to work with these communities.
WINDS Project Conclusion
The WINDS project has now concluded, we're excited to present our final report. This comprehensive summary highlights the remarkable achievements of the two-year initiative and we hope for lasting impact on communities across Australia—an impact that will resonate for generations to come.
