Available treatment and support services
Data and discussion about the availability and efficacy of treatment and support services are out of scope for this report but a useful report to refer to is the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare’s (AIHW) Resources for supporting psychosocial health in pregnancy for details of clinical guidelines, screening tools and information about services for supporting psychosocial health during pregnancy. There are also a range of treatment and support services provided by private providers like general practitioners (GP), as well as Primary Health Networks (PHN), state and territory government agencies, and non-government organisations. Mothers may also receive support for mental health and psychosocial issues through more general crisis and support services.
