Hi All, I run a Maternity and Women's Health Service within an Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service in rural Victoria. I have a terrific manager who allows me to work autonomously so long as I keep him informed. An Aboriginal Maternal Health worker and I work as a team and we provide 24hour/day on call for those in labour, (or any other crisis) antenatal care, either in the client's own home or in the Health Service, labour support at home and/or in the local hospital (the local midwives are wonderfully supportive of our service) and postnatal care. We work whatever hours our women need us. We dont get paid for 'on-call' or 'overtime' but are able to take 'time-off-in-lieu' when things are quiet. In my opinion if midwives aim to provide continuity of care then 8 hour shifts are not an option.
