Webinars
The Molly Wardaguga Webinar Series (previously the BoC CRE Seminar Series) brings together researchers, clinicians, community leaders and advocates working to improve outcomes for First Nations mothers, babies and families. The series highlights emerging research, innovative Birthing on Country models of care, and community-led approaches to strengthening culturally safe maternity services across Australia. The webinars provide a space to share evidence, practical experiences and new ideas that support the best possible start to life for First Nations babies.
The series runs on the fourth Tuesday of each month at 2:30 pm (ACST) and features a 40–45-minute presentation followed by 10–15 minutes for questions and discussion, creating an opportunity for learning, exchange and collaboration across the sector.
Registration information for the 2026 sessions is coming soon
