Did you know this year the Australian Government announced a $792.9 million Women’s Health Budget?
My feed has been filled with celebratory posts from politicians & it sounds like a big win for women’s health right?!
here’s some numbers you need to be aware of...
Out of that entire $792.9 million package:
➡️ $159.9 million goes to contraception
➡️ $64.5 million to endometriosis, pelvic pain and menopause
➡️ $109.1 million to pharmacy trials for UTIs and contraceptives
➡️ $443.4 million to cheaper medicines
➡️ $16 million to maternity service upgrades in just two regions
How much do you think has been allocated to support the preventative care, awareness or recovery of pre & postnatal women?
Exactly $0.
No national investment in pelvic-floor screening, postpartum recovery, or preventative education to help mums prepare for birth & prevent birth trauma.
Yet…
‼️1in3 women experience pelvic-floor dysfunction
‼️Half of all women who’ve had a baby experience prolapse
‼️70% of women with leakage don’t seek help
‼️And perinatal depression and anxiety cost $877 million a year in lost productivity & care
On a bigger scale we are facing a National Health Crisis with 75% of the Australian population not meeting the recommended daily movement recommendations. Mums stop moving when they are not looked after.
❌No budget line labelled “pelvic health screening program”
❌No new program for prenatal care or postnatal care beyond maternity service grants or midwife supports.
❌No expansion in general antenatal or postnatal preventative or recovery education, checks or specific community-based exercise programs.
At MumSafe™, we’re on a mission to change that; to keep taking steps forward to ensure every mum has access to safe, effective exercise and pelvic-health support at every stage of motherhood - we ARE doing our bit and we WILL keep advocating for HER to have better care across the board.
It’s time to make pre & postpartum education & recovery part of the national women’s health conversation.

This are also all important projects there is no doubt, however, there is a serious need for more funding and support in prevention and education for our postnatal ladies.
