Koori maternity services are uniquely Victorian and have provided flexible, inclusive and culturally safe maternity care to Aboriginal women, babies and families since 2000.

Koori Maternity Services guidelines: delivering culturally responsive and high-quality care gives voice to the wisdom and expertise of Victoria’s Koori maternity service workforce and reflects the partnership between the Victorian Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation and the Department of Health.

The principles of care described in the guidelines provide a shared foundation for the delivery of Koori Maternity Services and establish the requirements for service delivery.

The guidelines form the basis of annual local and statewide program review and monitoring.
