Birth activity

Mothers and people giving birth in Queensland hospitals can expect evidence-based and equitable maternity care at all stages of their pregnancy, birth and postpartum period. During this time, mothers and birthing people will be cared for by a variety of health practitioners including midwives and obstetricians and can also access shared care with their local general practitioner (GP).

We are working hard to report more data including information around the number of mothers/birthing people and the demand for maternity services. This information will be available in the coming weeks.
