The Home Birth Association (HBA) is a voluntary group, founded in 1982 to give information and support to those considering and opting for home birth. It helps parents make an informed choice by publishing leaflets, answering telephone queries, keeping lists of midwives, running monthly open meetings and organizing workshops & conferences.
The 2012 Home Birth Conference and AGM marked our 30th Anniverary.
The HBA lobbies and makes submissions to the relevant authorities, urging them to provide more information on home birth, to reintroduce practical domiciliary midwifery and to integrate nationwide domiciliary care into the maternity services.
The HBA receives no funding from any source other than membership subscriptions and is a registered charity.
As of October 1st 2008, Self employed Community Midwives are providing Home Birth Services around the Country for suitable women, and will be paid directly by the HSE (€2,400)
By becoming a member of the HBA you are supporting the very important cause of “Home Birthing” in Ireland and advocating for the rights of all women to choose when and how to give birth. Join today
