Well, there's good news there! What they're going to allow (after Nov) is that in the case of a transfer, your IM would be able to remain your midwife (ie, catch the baby / help you catch your baby / help your DP catch your baby) in the hospital in case of a transfer. In other words, women will be able to book with an IM and birth at home or in hospital, either as a planned hospital birth or as a homebirth transfer. Again, the details aren't out yet. Medicare benefits will also be paid for antenatal and postnatal care after Nov and hospital birth will also be funded (but not home birth).
