This is not an Australian Breastfeeding Association podcast. It is an ABC Radio National podcast with a Breastfeeding Association counsellor, Shannon Breen. She appeared on the ABC's Radio National Perspective program on International Womens' Day, 8th March 2007.
Shannon spoke about breastfeeding and work issues for Australian women, and the Breastfeeding-Friendly Workplace Accreditation Program for employers, developed by the Australian Breastfeeding Association. She sounded so good we wanted people to continue to be able to hear her, and the ABC have given us permission to put their podcast on our website. The transcript is available through abc.net.au/rn/perspective
