It's about whether midwives can access insurance, not whether mothers are 'allowed' to have homebirths.

FWIW there is still coverage for homebirth with some private health insurers, so there's no way it's illegal! Pity it can't be that easy for midwives. I'm pretty sure the govt will come up with a bridging agreement in 2012 until they can figure it out anyway.

I'm planning on a HB in 2011.
