Lead low-risk pregnancies through a midwife-led continuity model. Your scope. Your relationships.
Clear criteria and fast routes to specialists when risk rises. A safety net, not a hand-off.
The designated EMR, rostering, dashboards and admin are handled.
Full-scope midwifery is hard to practise alone. Escalation is uncertain and admin is relentless. Network One gives you continuity of care within a coordinated team. Escalation criteria are clear and specialists are a step away. You lead the care you trained for.
What sits inside the network, and what doesn't
Inside the network
- Low-risk continuity of care across the pathway
- Midwife-led antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal care
Beyond our scope
- Intermediate and high-risk cases, moved to specialist-led shared care on clear criteria
How you're paid
The midwifery model is site-dependent. The default is that NOH buys midwifery capacity from the host hospital. At some sites NOH employs or contracts the outpatient midwifery team while the hospital provides labour-and-delivery midwifery. Hybrid models also apply. Continuity of relationship is a clinical objective. The contractual structure varies by site.
The structure and schedule are confirmed per site at the site visit.

Questions, answered
How is the midwifery model structured?

When does a case escalate, and do I lose the woman?
Escalation follows clear, written clinical criteria. Intermediate and high-risk cases move to specialist-led shared care. You stay in the loop as part of the team. You do not hand the woman off entirely.
What indemnity do I need?
Independent midwives retain their own indemnity. NOH assists with notification. NOH is exploring group indemnity for short-term contracted roles. Cover arrangements are confirmed at onboarding.
What admin do I have to do myself?
