The Fair Work Ombudsman has launched a national campaign aimed at helping women avoid pregnancy discrimination at work. About 100,000 information packs are being sent to hospitals, GPs and other health service providers in metropolitan and regional areas throughout Australia. Pregnant women will receive the packs when they register with their preferred health professional after becoming pregnant.
The Fair Work Ombudsman has had the power to investigate discrimination in the workplace since July 1, 2009. Fair Work inspectors can also investigate allegations of discrimination on the grounds of race, colour, sex, sexual preference, age, physical or mental disability, marital status, family or carer responsibilities, religion, political opinion, national extraction or social origin. For more information visit the Fair Work Ombudsman website. |

The extent to which the needs of pregnant physicians are accommodated - or not - is recognised as a significant influence on maternal and foetal health, the well-being of the mother and child during pregnancy and postpartum, and female physicians' career progression, career choices and practice patterns.
Medicine and Motherhood: Can we talk? is a consensus statement developed by the Taskforce on the Accommodation of the Pregnant Physician and published by the Physician Health Program of British Columbia that aims to inform and promote discussion around the important issues of combining medicine and motherhood.

It was with tremendous pride that I represented the Australian Federation of Medical Women at Admiralty House Sydney on July 5th 2010 on the National Breast Cancer Foundation - Women’s Advisory Council. This subcommittee of the NBCF consists of key figures from industry, government, business and professional bodies, who have lent their support for the NBCF’s new “research register”. This online “national register” for women enables every interested woman (both with and without a diagnosis of breast cancer) to volunteer their interest to participate in future Australian research projects examining different aspects of breast cancer.

This video session, sponsored by the American Medical Association Women Physicians Congress, helps to educate and better familiarise doctors and medical students to how women in the military respond to issues of sex discrimination and various work/life adjustments.
In the United States today, women make up 15% of active-duty forces, and in the Marine Corps, this number has grown to 20%. Many in healthcare are unaware of the unique issues these women face during their service and once they have returned to their homes. Click here to register and download (free). |
