Stronger connections for better outcomes: Exploring the views and experiences of midwives working in a culturally tailored caseload midwifery model for women having a First Nations baby in Australia
Midwives reflected positively about working in the model that they believed made a difference for First Nations families. Sustaining midwives in this model requires cultural training and support, a caseload that accommodates clinical and psychosocial contexts of the women, and organisational commitment and support.
