Christian Wright

Christian Wright is a nurse and midwife, maternal health researcher and educator, Clinical Council member to Northern Territory Primary Health Network, and Advisory Panel member to the Australasian Birth Trauma Association. Christian has a rich understanding of complexities of care across a diversity of cultures, with a scope of practice experience which includes metropolitan Emergency Departments and Birth Centres, Public Health and Disaster Teams, as well as isolated communities across Papua New Guinea and Arnhem Land Australia. As his presence would have been traditionally considered a cultural taboo in some of these remote places, Christian has learned to navigate and iterate his midwifery practice in response to maternal and community needs, both as a male in sacred Indigenous birthing spaces and as a clinician in rural and resource scarce environments. Listening to and advocating for the experience and voice of remote women, their partners, and their families, has become a rewarding focus of Christian's work and published research.
