Implementing the National Maternity Action Plan

The National Maternity Action Plan (NMAP), as I have written about before, is the first really comprehensive push in Australia for universal maternity reform. It is a wonderful vision, with a good chance of being adopted, especially in the current climate of rising costs, litigation scares, rapid rises in intervention rates and increasingly demanding consumers who are looking for more choice.

When politicians are approached for support for NMAP, they invariably ask “what will it cost?” and “how would it be implemented”? The first of these questions is fully covered in the NMAP report itself. The second challenge has also been embraced and a full Implementation Plan has now been developed for the State of NSW, where an election is due in March. This is a very professional and extensive document, well worth reading as an example of a practical blueprint for change. It will be harder for the politicians to push NMAP to one side as “impractical” when this kind of detailed planning has been presented to them on a plate.

Congratulations to the team at The Maternity Coalition for preparing this document. Best wishes too for their campaign of political harassment as the political hopefuls step up into full election mode. This is our best chance of achieving change for many years and it deserves al the support it can get.
