Episode Details

Senator Marielle Smith is calling for a Senate select committee to tackle the silent crisis of birth trauma in Australia, after her own harrowing childbirth experience. One in three women here suffer from it — more than many major health issues — with devastating physical, emotional, and economic consequences. New data shows nearly 60% of those diagnosed over a year later report suicidal thoughts, highlighting a deadly delay in care. This push isn’t just about policy — it’s about giving voice to the millions of mothers left broken, isolated, and unsupported after giving birth.
