Improving Maternity Services in Australia : A discussion paper from the Australian Government forms part of a review from the Department of Health and Ageing, which will lead to a comprehensive plan for maternity services into the future.
The Review of Maternity Services, led by the Commonwealth Chief Nurse and Midwifery Officer, Rosemary Bryant, aims to canvass a wide range of issues relevant to maternity services, including antenatal services, birthing options, postnatal services up to six weeks after birth, and peer and social support for women in the perinatal period. The government wants to ensure that all interested parties have an opportunity to contribute to the development of a National Maternity Services Plan and they areseeking submissions until the end of October from interested stakeholders in response to the paper.
