Weβre excited to welcome Katie Irwin to the speaker lineup for the National Endorsed Midwife Conference! πΏβ¨
While one of our planned speakers has unfortunately had to step back due to changing work commitments, we are absolutely delighted to have Katie joining the program and sharing a session that will be incredibly valuable for endorsed midwives working in practice.
Katie will be presenting MediMate for Midwives-A practical and time-saving Medicare rebate calculator designed specifically for midwives. MediMate helps provide clear, accurate rebate information on the spot β cutting down time spent on calculations and making conversations with clients easier and more transparent. Even better, Katie has developed this resource as a free tool for midwives. π
Katie is an Endorsed Private Practice Midwife, IBCLC, and founder of Flourish Lactation based in Meanjin/Brisbane. With more than 15 years of full-scope midwifery experience in tertiary settings and 5 years in private practice, Katie brings extensive knowledge across antenatal, postnatal, and infant feeding care.
Her work is grounded in equitable, accessible, trauma-informed and neuro-affirming care, with a strong focus on creating sustainable systems that support both midwives and the families they care for. ππ
Weβre so pleased Katie will be joining us and know her session will provide practical tools, fresh ideas, and real support for midwives navigating private practice and Medicare systems every day.
Please join us in giving Katie a warm welcome! π«
