A major program of reform has been announced by the Australian government that appears to be at odds with current general public perceptions regarding how safe quality maternity care is delivered. Australia is a society that has embraced the introduction of high technology across all aspects of life including childbirth in contrast to a primary maternity care model which reserves valuable obstetric services for only those women experiencing complications. The proposed reform does not come with consensus agreement and represents a change to traditional key stakeholder relationships with government. Maternity care provider groups involving obstetrics and midwifery have a long history of involvement in professional power struggles whilst consumer groups also contain polarised elements. Ongoing tensions exist as those who hold power to influence the direction of the reforms constantly assert their authority while those who do not hold the power make bids to seize power and redirect the reforms to suit their agendas.Critical discourse analysis was employed as the methodological framework in the context of Australian maternity services policy to better understand how knowledge and power have been used by key stakeholders for the purpose of influencing change. Interpretive analysis in this research was guided by the use of a neoliberal lens for the purpose of exposing the intrinsic drivers for change that are unrelated to key stakeholder influence. This approach has allowed power relationships to be examined and the forces driving change to be exposed.The analysis of relationships of power in maternity care has highlighted changes to historical positions including: Government and medicine; medicine and midwifery; medicine and consumers; and government and consumers. It is argued that these changes have been stimulated through the introduction of neoliberal values in publicly funded maternity services management. The rise in consumer influence has impacted strongly on the direction of change culminating in the proposed primary maternity reform agenda. The Australian government seeking to secure affordable maternity services has allianced to the reforms advocated by the key stakeholder collaboration incorporating consumer groups, midwifery, sympathetic health service managers and rural doctors. In contrast to the position of the collaborative alliance the obstetric discourse has been unable to provide government with solutions to escalating costs and workforce deficits associated with providing Australian women with safe maternity care. These findings have implications for the implementation process which is further challenged as general public confidence in the proposed reforms is being undermined in the newspaper media by a steady stream of fear inducing cautionary warnings emanating from the authoritative medical and obstetric expert claiming that lives of mothers and babies will be threatened by the proposed change. The general public are presented with a conflict, caught between the need for change and fear that change will undermine safe standards.

"Over the past 4 years, the AIHW has been working to consolidate national maternal and perinatal data collection and reporting in Australia. This has been made possible through the National Maternity Data Development Project (NMDDP) at the AIHW, funded by the Australian Government Department of Health. The NMDDP was established in response to recommendations of the Commonwealth's 2008 Maternity Services Review, as well as the 2010-2015 National Maternity Services Plan, both of which advocate improved national maternity data collection and reporting. Stage 1 of the NMDDP was conducted over 2011-2013, and included scoping of national information needs for maternity data, and the setting out of a range of data development activities ... This report presents the outcomes of Stage 2 of the NMDDP, which was carried out between July 2013 and June 2015. The second stage focused on: continuing the data development of NMDDP priority maternity data items and creating a Perinatal Data Set Specification (DSS); developing and piloting the Maternity Model of Care (MoC) DSS; producing a national report on maternal mortality for 2008-2012; developing methods to better capture and report on national perinatal mortality; producing a first national perinatal mortality report; providing greater access to maternal and perinatal data and metadata through web tools."--Page vi.

This title includes Foreword by Sheila Kitzinger, Writer, Researcher, Activist and Honorary Professor, Wolfson School of Health Sciences, Thames Valley University. Birth centres are suitable for every woman whose birth is straightforward, which accounts for around 75 per cent of all women. This inspirational guide shows how small scale maternity provision has a profound clinical and organisational advantage over large scale hospital provision, including saving of time and money by reducing intervention rates. It presents the thoughts and feelings of midwives and patients and how both enjoy the humane and compassionate care of the birth centre ethos. The book is invaluable for midwives, obstetricians, doulas, maternity care assistants and maternity service planners and managers. It also provides enlightening information for general practitioners and other health and social care professionals, maternity service users groups and academics with an interest in midwifery and health services. "What birth centres do best is simply providing humane childbirth care. There are no high tech gadgetry, doctors or dramatic stories of childbirth rescues that make it into the media. Yet 'miracles' happen inside their walls every day as women have their babies after normal labours and births. Until now, there have been very few books detailing what happens in birth centres so that women and childbirth professionals can be introduced to an alternative beyond the large hospital model. This book provides a window in on the birth centre model and there are some exciting things to find there about childbirth care in the 21st century." - Denis Walsh, in the Preface. "Denis Walsh has one of the most incisive, analytical and brilliant minds in nursing and midwifery research today. He demonstrates the difference between a quality environment for birth where a woman can create her own 'nest', and a technocratic, bureaucratically controlled, highly medicalised and risk-oriented birth culture dominated by the clock, which is most women's experience today." - Sheila Kitzinger, in the Foreword.
