The Doula Access Fund provides free doula support to those experiencing financial hardship and who find themselves in challenging situations or without a birth partner.
If you are a health professional or represent a charitable partner you may make a referral to the Doula Access Fund. We work with various agencies and charitable partners including those who provide services including maternity, mental health, refugee and domestic violence.
We believe that everyone has a right to have a positive and supported birth experience and to the best possible start in life.
