This toolkit aims to provide a consistent approach for implementing Midwifery Continuity of Care in NSW.
It describes the different types of models currently used across the State, clarifies definitions of important terms, supports effective project management skills, and encourages Health Services to consider Midwifery Continuity as a way forward to align with community and workforce expectations.
The toolkit has been expanded to include the many important partnerships that are required when designing and implementing these models, including Child and Family Health Services, and also acknowledging the strong benefits of these models for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and babies.
