- What aspects of the Australian context are driving high intervention rates?
- What actions are required to address this?
- What, if any, are key support services, including peer support which warrant national coverage?
- What is required to ensure the quality and consistency of key support services?
- How is current Commonwealth funding targeted?
- What are the key professional development needs for the maternity workforce?
- How will models of workforce support vary in rural and urban settings?
- What are the potential areas for change to expand midwife-led care across antenatal, birthing and postnatal services?
- What are the existing effective models for midwife-led maternity services?
- What are the key workforce barriers to integrated models of care?

- Are there any other issues the Review should consider?
The two questions that we are focusing on in the babs response to the maternity services review are the two on support, "including peer support". We will keep you informed as our drafting proceeds.
