Mission

The organization is committed to raising awareness and breaking the taboo surrounding stillbirth, encouraging parents to speak of their experiences.{{cite web|url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-09-01/australian-parents-tell-their-stillbirth-stories/7795588|title=Australian parents tell their stillbirth stories|first1=Hagar|last1=Cohen|first2=Alex|last2=McClintock|date=1 September 2016|website=ABC News|accessdate=8 March 2019}} It also works towards preventing stillbirth through education for mothers, families and health clinics. They actively lobby for stillbirth to be listed and remain on the policy agenda at a national level in Australia. It works to gather and report data of care provisions already offered internationally, but which are not offered to Australian patients yet.{{cite web|url=https://www.stillbirthcre.org.au/collaboration/partners-and-collaborators/still-aware/|title=Still Aware - Stillbirth CRE|website=Stillbirthcre.org.au|accessdate=8 March 2019}}
