In 2021, around 830 maternity models of care were in use across Australia. The characteristics of these models of care can be explored in the following sections. This includes information about: the 11 categories these models fall into (major model category); the designated and collaborative carers who provide these models of care (maternity carers); the extent of continuity of carer within the models (continuity of carer); whether the models target a particular group of women (target groups); and the antenatal and postnatal care and birth settings within the models.
