    Background:

    • Shift from private to public obstetric care in Australia since the early 1990s.
    • Factors include falling private health insurance and fewer GPs providing obstetric care.
    • Need for strategies to manage public hospital overload and increase skilled practitioners.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • Outline the process and delivery of a shared care in obstetrics system.
    • Developed by Geelong Division of General Practice, Barwon Health, midwives, and obstetricians.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementation of a shared antenatal care program.
    • Development of standardized antenatal and postnatal protocols.
    • Collaboration between general practitioners, midwives, and obstetricians.
