Safer Baby Bundle

In NSW for every 1000 babies born, six will be stillborn, therefore affecting a high number of families and communities each week.

The Stillbirth Centre for Research Excellence (CRE) Safer Baby Bundle aims to reduce the number of preventable stillbirths that occur after 28 weeks gestation, by 20% by 2023. The Safer Baby Bundle has five evidence-based elements that emphasise the importance of best practice maternity care. Health promotion and integration of the five elements of the Bundle in conjunction with continuity of care, has the potential to strengthen the Bundle's impact and reduce the rate of stillbirth.
