Maternity Services
The MSOAP-Maternity Service (MSOAP-MS) program commenced in 2011 to build on the core MSOAP service model by incorporating multidisciplinary teams of health professionals delivering maternity care up until the infant is six months of age. The program aims to increase and improve access to maternity care for women and their families in rural and remote communities.
The objectives of the MSOAP-MS program are to:
- Support health professionals to provide outreach maternity services to rural and remote communities.
- Increase the range of maternity services offered by visiting health professionals to effectively support women and families through the antenatal and postnatal stages.
- Improve ongoing management and continuity of care.
- Increase and maintain the skills of local health professionals in rural and remote areas in accordance with local need.
The MSOAP-MS program focuses on a multidisciplinary team approach to patient care. All services must be delivered by appropriately trained, qualified, registered and insured health professionals. Multidisciplinary teams may consist of the following:
- Allied health professionals
- General Practitioners
- Medical specialists
- Midwives
- Registered Nurses
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Workers
