Abstract
This report summarises data from the 2007 Northern Territory (NT) Midwives’
Collection. It includes population characteristics of mothers, maternal health status, antenatal information, conditions and procedures used in labour and childbirth as well as birth outcomes of all births that occurred in 2007. While the NT Midwives’ Collection contains information on both NT resident and interstate residents who gave birth in the NT, the focus of this report is NT residents who gave birth in the NT.
The primary purpose of the report is to inform and encourage professional discussion
regarding the health of women and their babies. This report will assist policy makers
and health planners to provide better services to the community. In addition, this report aims to provide feedback to midwives, Aboriginal Health Workers, community health
nurses and medical practitioners involved with maternal and child health.
