How do Australians with a mental illness fare when they become parents? How well are they supported during pregnancy and the early years – by maternal and child health services and by mental health services – and what action is needed to improve care?

The paper concludes that much more can be done for this group as they receive little extra help with planning and preparation for parenthood than the general population.
