The Maternity Antenatal Postnatal Service (MAPS) is a program is that enables women to be cared for by the same midwives throughout pregnancy and up to 10 days postnatally. The MAPS program aims to provide families with continuity of care and encourages the development of individualised care aimed at improving outcomes for mothers and babies.
The key quality for clients of the program is the relationship developed with the Midwives, this facilitates trust and rapport and provides confidence with the midwives who care for them during the antenatal and postnatal period.
For most women your allocated MAPS midwife will be able to provide the majority of the antenatal and postnatal care that you require. If the need for medical consultation or referral arises, the MAPS midwife is supported by the Obstetric Provider (Doctor that specialised in pregnancy and birthing care) and other medical and allied health staff as required.
