The contract aimed to fill gaps in private maternity care after local services shut down. However, concerns arise as Marks cant practice unsupervised and needs a mentor. The Australian Medical Association warns of safety risks due to the lack of obstetricians involved. The health department promises top-quality care, but questions remain on how to ensure private midwifery works safely in the region.
