Sounds like rural women will still be transfered out to ? who knows where to birth
and back from the place of birth
So how would they be better off??
 
A bub hub would be some kind of community-based centre with lots of maternity-related services on site, so you might have people being able to go there for antenatal care, for advice on breast feeding after the birth of their baby, maybe infant care advice and also postnatal check-ups,

Doctors' group backs maternity service trial

The Rural Doctors Association is pleased the Queensland Government has agreed to trial a new service for pregnant women.

State Cabinet has endorsed most recommendations from an independent report to improve maternity services.

They include the establishment of family centres or "bub hubs" to support women before and after giving birth.

It is hoped the first one will be set up on a trial basis by the end of next year.

The association's Queensland branch president, Dr Jon Outridge, says mothers will have access to all kinds of expertise.

"" he said.
