The National Core Maternity Indicators (NCMIs) present information on measures of clinical activity and outcomes to assist in improving the quality of maternity services in Australia by establishing baseline data for monitoring and evaluating practice change. These indicators cover data for the majority of women who gave birth in Australia from 2004 to 2017 and are grouped into 3 broad topic areas—antenatal period, labour and birth and birth outcomes.
This summary report is designed to accompany National Core Maternity Indicators 2017.
