The Maternity and Neonatal Clinical Guidelines

These Clinical Guidelines have been developed to support a standard approach to clinical care across Queensland.

They are best described as "evidence informed consensus guidelines" and draw from the evidence base, existing national and international guidelines and the expert opinion of the working party.

The Maternity and Neonatal Clinical Guidelines website is now live and can be accessed via "What's new" on the Queensland Health Home Page or via the link below.
