Our Mission

The Early Pregnancy Loss Coalition was founded in 2023 by author and journalist Isabelle Oderberg (Hard to Bear), Miscarriage Australia co-founder Dr Jade Bilardi (Monash University) and Associate Professor Melanie Keep (University of Sydney). 

Every year miscarriage affects up to 150,000 Australians and the people who love them. Our Mission is to advocate for improved care and support for people affected by early pregnancy loss (miscarriage) and their families. 

The four key goals of the Coalition are to improve: Care, Communication, Data and Research in this area. Currently, miscarriage related care, support and research is grossly underfunded in Australia. Our goal is to provide a collective voice to Government and advocate for critical changes needed to address the current gaps in patient care, support and funding in Australia. 

The EPLC is a registered charity.
