7. Victorian Maternity Record / Guide to tests and investigations

The Victorian Maternity Record (VMR) is a government initiative to provide pregnant women with a uniform hand held maternity record.  This reflects the government’s vision and the principles outlined in Future directions for Victoria maternity services, particularly that all pregnant women accessing public maternity services in Victoria will carry the VMR by December 2009. 

The VMR was introduced to engage women in decisions regarding their own care and to improve communication between service providers.

9. National Midwifery Consultation & Referral Guidelines (ACM)

Midwives, as primary carers, need to make evidenced based decisions regarding when an individual woman in their care may need medical attention during pregnancy, labour, birth or the post-natal period.

These guidelines have been developed to provide midwives with support in doing this. It is the intention that the guidelines be used to facilitate consultation and integration of care between midwives and doctors, giving confidence to providers, women and their families.

The College has developed these Consultation and Referral Guidelines in conjunction with a multi-disciplinary expert panel and with public consultation.  The Guidelines are internationally comparable and based on the latest available research evidence at the time of publication.

10. Beyond Blue; Perinatal Emotional Health Program

Postnatal depression affects about 14% of women who give birth, and recent evidence suggests that many women may in fact be depressed during their pregnancy. Research has linked depression at this time to chronic depression, marital difficulties and behavioural and cognitive delays in children. Despite the prevalence and consequences of depression occurring antenatally and postnatally, most women commonly remain unidentified and untreated.
