About Dianne Morris

I’m a registered midwife, educator, and researcher with more than 30 years of experience in maternal and child health across Australia and the UK. My work spans hospital-based care, university teaching, childbirth education, research coordination, and community wellbeing programs—especially for women and families from diverse cultural backgrounds.

I’m a PhD candidate from the University of Technology Sydney, where my research explored how to build resilience in undergraduate midwifery students. I’m passionate about improving outcomes in maternity care through education, cultural humility, and community-led support.

Whether I’m in the classroom, at the bedside, or facilitating workshops for new parents, I believe every person deserves care that is respectful, inclusive, and empowering.

What People Are Saying

  • Birthing Class Participant, 2024

    “

    We found our path, even when things didn’t go to plan.

    Dianne Morris’s classes helped us plan the birth we hoped for — but also prepare for the unexpected. Even when the hospital setting was tricky, we knew what questions to ask and when to advocate for ourselves. In the end, we welcomed our little one in the way that felt right for us. Our midwives were wonderful, and we felt informed, supported, and strong throughout the journey.

    “

    Making the right call gave us a calm, beautiful birth.

    After weighing our options and listening to our instincts, we made the choice for a planned caesarean — and it was the right decision for our family. The medical team was compassionate, respectful, and gentle, and we felt calm and fully present when we met our baby. Dianne Morris’s classes helped us feel in control of our choices and trust the process, no matter how it unfolded.
