We are looking atlodging a submission/business case to establish a birth centre in the south west of WA, this will cater for a rural regional area, if anyone else had already had to do this in their area it would be extremely helpful to get an electronic copy so that we don't have to re invent

Hi Jan, I agree that there can be a huge difference in what is regarded as a 'birth centre'. Here in Mackay we have a birth centre which is a small house at the back of the maternity unit. There are four midwives and we care for women from early pregnancy through to the birth and beyond. The

The birth centre where I work offers midwife care throughout antenatal, intrapartum and post natal. We encourage non-drug use in labour, but do have gas and morphine. These are NEVER offered, and not given on first ask. It is between the midwife the woman and her supports when drugs are
