About CCOPMM
The Consultative Council on Obstetric and Paediatric Mortality and Morbidity (CCOPMM) is established under the Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008 and is the advisory body to the Minister for Health on maternal, perinatal and paediatric deaths.
The CCOPMM reviews all maternal, perinatal and paediatric deaths in Victoria in order to consider clinical features of each case and to assess preventability.
Information provided to the CCOPMM is privileged by legislation, and (unless it is released by CCOPMM) is not accessible by any third party, including the Courts.
The CCOPMM consists of a twelve member Council and four committees:
- Maternal Mortality Committee
- Stillbirth Committee
- Neonatal Mortality & Morbidity Committee
- Child & Adolescent Mortality & Morbidity Committee
Members of the CCOPMM and its committees have widely diverse areas of expertise.
