For many mothers and families, the hardest part isn’t what happened during the birth. It’s the silence that follows — the unanswered questions, the feeling that something wasn’t right, and the uncertainty about whether anyone will ever explain why.
If that resonates with you, you are far from alone. And you don’t need to have all the answers before you begin asking questions.
In the first episode of the Birth Injury Lawyers Podcast, you’ll hear from Anthony Porthouse — an Accredited Specialist in Personal Injury Law, listed in Doyle’s Guide as a leading medical negligence lawyer in New South Wales, with over 36 years of experience and more than a decade dedicated specifically to birth injury and birth trauma claims.
Anthony shares why he founded Birth Injury Lawyers — Australia’s only specialist practice dedicated exclusively to mothers, infants, and families affected by birth injury — the gaps he saw in the legal system, and why so many families struggle to find the answers they deserve after a difficult birth.
He also explains what makes this area of law so uniquely challenging, and why the first step for so many families is simply being willing to start the conversation.
This episode is for you if you’ve ever wondered whether what happened during your birth was normal, preventable, or simply never properly explained.
