This session will explore diverse models of maternity care from around the world, examining how structure, setting, and funding influence outcomes, access, and equity. Topics include the economics of maternity care, midwifery-led models, the interface between public and private obstetric care, and the role of primary care in delivering obstetric services. The session will also highlight culturally responsive approaches such as the Birthing on Country model, which integrates clinical care with cultural safety for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
We invite expressions of interest from clinicians, researchers, policymakers, and community health leaders with expertise in maternity care delivery across varied contexts.
