Our Research

Miscarriage Australia is dedicated to ensuring that those affected by miscarriage receive the acknowledgment, support, care, and information they need. We primarily achieve this through focused research aimed at improving care and support for individuals experiencing miscarriage.

The Miscarriage Australia research program was founded in 2016 and led by Associate Professor Jade Bilardi (Adjunct Associate Professor at the Monash University and The University of Melbourne) and Professor Meredith Temple-Smith (Deputy Head of Department of General Practice at the University of Melbourne). They collaborate with a multi-disciplinary team of academics, healthcare providers, and industry partners.

Government and university funding have supported our exploration of the experiences of women, their partners, and healthcare providers concerning miscarriage. We are honoured by invitations to speak regularly about our work in academic and industry forums, including print and broadcast media.

Miscarriage Australia’s senior researchers support a range of undergraduate and postgraduate students (Honours, Masters, PhD) to conduct studies in miscarriage support and reproductive health more broadly. The evidence from our studies provides information to advocate for changes in public awareness and policy to improve miscarriage support.
