Abstract
This report summarises 2022 perinatal data from the 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 2022. While the NT Midwives’ Collection contains information on both NT residents and non-NT residents who gave birth in the NT, the focus of this report is on NT residents who gave birth in the NT. The data from Mothers and Babies reports are frequently used by clinicians, midwives and program managers to improve midwifery services across the NT. The NT Health Strategic Plan outlines broad goals to improve maternal and child health (access to antenatal services for every pregnancy, continuous care models for high-risk pregnancies, improving quality, cultural safety, prevention, evidence informed care). NT Health identifies and addresses several maternal health priorities in antenatal care that contribute to perinatal risk, including: pre-term birth, low birthweight, smoking in pregnancy, alcohol use and diabetes in pregnancy.
