    A birth centre is run by midwives. Very low intervention for low risk patients. They sometimes run out of a hospital sometimes not. Yes they are Australian wide, you just have to search for them. The ones run out of hospitals have an OB that you have to see to get clearence as low risk but other than that you just see the midwives. You also don't stay in hospital afterwards, they discharge you around 4 hours after the birth.
