Doraine - Did you manage to get the information, below, for your WABA meeting? I know it was ages ago, but I hope it went well for you. Cheers, Virginia Virginia Thorley, Brisbane, Australia Dear Doraine, After being NO MAIL for some time, I came back on Lactnet just now and saw your posting, requesting information for the WABA meeting you are attending. I'm from Australia, and live in Queensland, which takes up the northern half of the east coast of this continent. Your best source of detailed information on support for women who are in the paid workforce and are breastfeeding would be the Nursing Mothers' Association of Australia (NMAA). This organisation (similar to LLL) covers all of the country, and has a Working Group on just this issue. NMAA has developed a "Mother Friendly Workplace Award", and an information package for employers. I don't have email connected at home and so am at the local cyber cafe writing this - and don't have NMAA's email address in front of me. If you post a request on Lactnet, I'm sure someone will give you NMAA's email address, or even the contact for someone in the respective Working Group. All the best for your WABA meeting - a fine organisation. Warmly, Virginia (Virginia Thorley, IBCLC) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
