The Birthing Kit Assembly Day sessions will be followed by free community barbecues.

Birthing kits have the basic requirements for a clean and safe birth, including a sheet, soap, gloves, cords, scalpel and gauze squares, contained in a press-seal bag. They are light, small, water resistant and simple to use.

Participating campuses from 11am-2pm on Friday (Sept 24) include Sydney, the Gold Coast and Brisbane, with Melbourne operating from 10am-4pm on the same day.

Participating campuses from 10.45am-1.30pm on Saturday (Sept 25) include Mackay, Gladstone (Leo Zussino Building), Rockhampton (building 18) and Noosa.
