solution for privately practising midwives to continue to deliver intrapartum care in home, otherwise known as home birth services.
The COAG Health Council made the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law Amendment (Midwife Insurance Exemption) Regulation 2016—I will refer to it as “the regulation”—to extend the current exemption for privately practising midwives providing home birth services for a period of three years to 31 December 2019.
The COAG Health Council agreed that in conjunction with the extension exemption, the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia would be asked to undertake an audit of all privately practising midwives who provide home birth services, and to bring a report on the operation of the board’s safety and quality guidelines for privately practising midwives, and the results of the audit, to the council at the end of 12 months of operation of these guidelines in December 2017.
This regulation was published in the Victorian government gazette by the Victorian Government Printer on 11 October 2016 in accordance with section 245(3) of the national law. The regulation was tabled in the Queensland parliament on 4 November 2016. I have tabled a copy of the regulation for the information of members.
