In response to a review of Australian maternity services, the Australian Government’s Health and Ageing Portfolio included a package of measures that aimed to improve choice and access to maternity services, give families greater choice in the type of care they receive when having a baby, and recognise the important role played by qualified midwives in the birthing experience of many Australian women. As a result, the National Health and Medical Research Council developed the National Guidance on Collaborative Maternity Care (the Guidance) to provide a resource to support collaborative maternity care in Australia.
Indiana Holley was hired as a technical writer to deliver content within the Guidance on the key element of collaboration and translating evidence into clinical practice.
