Oceane Campbell is a proud and passionate midwife and writer working, living and mothering her three children on the unceded lands of the Awabakal nation. As a midwife, Oceane has participated in focus groups and education on improving the experience of LGBTQI+ families receiving maternity care. Oceane has spoken at a number of conferences from a personal and professional perspective on ensuring culturally and emotionally safe care to the rainbow community.

Oceane’s most recent book, “Labour of Love” (2025, Pantera Press), Oceane shares birth stories with illuminating insights into the issues of consent, risk and autonomy that exist in our maternity care system. Oceane’s first book The Silence Between Us: A Mother and Daughter’s Conversation Through Suicide and into Life (2021, Hardie Grant), is a raw and original double memoir tracing mother and daughter as they try to understand and rebuild their relationship after Oceane’s suicide attempt as a teenager.

Before becoming a midwife, Oceane completed a psychology degree with honours. In 2022, she was named Newcastle Woman of the Year for her advocacy work in mental health and improving LGBTQI+ families accessing maternity care.
