Birth activity
Mothers and people giving birth in Queensland hospitals can expect evidence-based and equitable maternity care at all stages of their pregnancy, birth and postpartum period.

Number of mothers/birthing people
Queensland Health reports the number of mothers/birthing people to understand the demand for maternity services.
We are working hard to report more data including information around the number of mothers/birthing people and the demand for maternity services. This information will be available in the coming weeks.
