MAMA Professional Education
Our team are passionate about continually expanding our own knowledge, skills and practice, and we love supporting our wider professional community to do the same. Since we first began offering professional education over 10 years ago, we’ve had the joy of learning alongside so many dedicated practitioners across Australia.
We take great care in facilitating meaningful professional development each year. Our workshops and courses create space to explore new ideas, build practical skills and connect with colleagues who share a genuine commitment to perinatal care. We regularly welcome expert guest speakers so we can all learn from leaders in the field and stay inspired in our work.
Whether you’re a midwife, lactation consultant, obstetrician, GP, student or any kind of perinatal professional, we’d love to have you join us.
Our previous online education courses are available for purchase and on-demand access. If you have already enrolled in a course, you can log in to your dashboard to view your content and track your progress.
