Hi,
In Tassie we are Registered Nurse with a licence
to practice midwifery. We can give full care without the authority of a Doctor
but many will see a Doctor or hospital for bloods scans etc

What is the legislation
regarding antenatal care in states throughout
Australia?
Who has the legal right to give care and what are
the necessary qualifications?
Can a GP or a
registered nurse give antenatal care?
Assuming that all
registered midwives and Obstetricitians are able.
Thanks

Hi
Darren
Under the Nurses Acts in all states and Territories only those
RNs who have authorisation to practise midwifery are able to provide
antenatal care. Registered Medical Practitioners are able to provide this
service.
Midwifery or medical students can provide antenatal care
under supervision of an RN who has an Authority to practise Midwifery or a
Registered Medical Practitioner.
Hopefully all states will soon have
their own Midwife Practitioner Acts which clearly defines the role of the
future graduates of BchMid programs who will be neither RNs or
MDs.
