Petition updateDemand the Protection of Private Maternity Services — A Call to the NT GovernmentJoin us this Friday at Lee Point - Community Photo - Darwin families stand for birth choice

Feb 24, 2026

Last year, you stood with Territory families by signing our petition to defend access to maternity choices in the NT, following the closure of the Darwin Private Hospital maternity ward.

Today, that fight is more urgent than ever. With the loss of the Northern Territory’s last private obstetrician, real choice in pregnancy and birth is disappearing. Families have been forced into fewer options, stretched facilities and resources or interstate travel to access chosen care, at one of the most vulnerable times in their lives.

We are coming together at Lee Point to show that maternity choice matters - and that Territory families will not accept a system that leaves them without options.

Join us for this community photo and stand for choice, local care, and dignity in birth.

Bring your loved ones. Wear white or pastel. Be counted.
