About

Are Australian babies an endangered species?

Join the Senior Medical Staff Association of the Royal Women’s Hospital for the 2026 Tracy Maund Oration, delivered by one of the world’s foremost demographers, Professor Peter McDonald AO.
Professor McDonald (Emeritus Professor of Demography, ANU; Honorary Professor, University of Melbourne) will examine Australia’s record-low fertility rates, the real drivers behind the trend, and the implications for maternity and paediatric care.

An essential evening for obstetricians, gynaecologists, neonatologists and anyone concerned with the future of Australian families.
