Binya Winyangara: Culturally-Safe Midwifery Care

Abstract

Welcome to a snippet of a small but important antenatal model of care called Binya Winyangara (BW) offered to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander mothers and babies at Liverpool Hospital in the South West Sydney Local Health District (SWSLHD). The following paragraphs offer insight into the reason for the implementation of the service, the day-to-day running, services offered and the importance of BW for the future. It is a privilege as the BW midwife to share this with you but more importantly I feel honoured to be able to work with and care for all the beautiful mothers and babies that access this service within the local area.
