International Doulas Membership

Membership

International Doulas membership is open not only to doulas who have trained with Australian Doulas, but also doulas who have trained with other reputable doula training organisations.

Membership fee is $50 per year.

It is important for all members of International Doulas to work within the same philosophy and it is therefore a condition of membership that all members agree to abide by our Code of Practice.

Membership application is a four stage process:

  1. Completion of a membership application (including agreeing to work within the Australian Doulas Code of Practice).
  2. Attendance at an Australian Doulas “International Bridging Course” (contact us for details).  You will be required to present proof of your doula certification.
  3. The membership application will then be presented to members by the secretary at the next general meeting.
  4. If the application has been passed at the general meeting, the application will be forwarded onto the Committee for final approval.

Fill out the form below to begin the membership application process or contact our Secretary for more information.

A person who wishes to become a member must be proposed by one member and seconded by another member. You don’t need to add them now, but you will be required to do so before membership is approved.
