Hi Sally
I've just returned from a very quick trip back to NZ. I was told by a colleague that the caseload midwives (well all midiwives acutally had just recieved a 30% pay increase!!). Caseload are now paying an annual salary of $75,000. I think there are 4 of them, working in pairs and I know they work very hard with predominiately high risk women (most low risk choose an independent midwife). I'll see if I can find out some more info.

So the next question is do people who have worked in caseload models feel that they were being paid fairly for their on call commitment?
