1. INTRODUCTION
Australia is a country in which to have a baby and compares well on a number of
accepted measures of safety and quality of care. The basic purpose of this report is to describe
the primary maternity care that has been given by the level 5 hospitals NSW to the CALD
women in Australia. The services are properly approached by healthcare settings which
represents a wide perspective of services and places in which the health care happens. It includes
health care hospitals, urgent care centres, nursing homes and other long-term care facilities.
Level 5 hospitals are highly equipped with experienced medical officers and nursing staff on site
24 hours (Betron and et.al., 2018). All the specialists and other staff members are available on
call 24x7. These establishments are highly able to manages the highly complex patients as well
as procedures. It has been identified that highest number of CALD women are presented in
Australia for which the average birth rate per year is of 4000 (Fontein-Kuipers, de Groot & van
Staa, 2018). CALD women are those who are culturally and linguistically diverse in nature.
These women were born overseas or have their parents born overseas and thus speak diversified
languages. The project is structured in a manner which provides detailed information about the
women centred outcome measures, analysis of new born outcome measures, different tools
utilised during pregnancy along with certain recommendations that are prepared on the basis of
SMART measures. This study will also highlight the identification of key stakeholders within the
community and health settings.
2. DISCUSSION
Women centered outcome measure can be recognized as appropriate care that has been
provided to the women in maternity services. So, it is a concept related to healthcare services are
provided to women through prioritizing the women individual unique needs in order to provide
continuous care. In another words, it measures the outcome of women centered services that are
provided to cultural and linguistic diverse women for their better health and well-being. In
facility level 5 hospital in NSW has an average 4000 birth per year so appropriate care needs to
be provided to CALD women for better outcome. Thus, women centered outcome measure is an
effective method of assessing the effectiveness of clinical intervention and standardized measure
in order to determined best practices that can be used to delivered good maternity care to CALD
women in Australia (Karaca & Durna, 2019).

Furthermore, it has been identified that cultural and linguistic diversity in Australia is rising
at rapid stage. CALD are group of women that have born outside the Australia/ New Zealand and
are non-Caucasian, non-English speaking and refugees. Along with it, most of the women of
CALD group are often childbearing age that directly influence on pregnancy outcome. Through
the survey it has been identify that the women are highly satisfied with the maternity care
provision provided by the Level 5 hospital in NSW (Liu & et.al., 2018). In addition to it, first
time mother has been given more care, continuous care, staff qualities and better services as
compared to multiparous mother. Thus, it has been find out that care has been provided to
women in five areas such as women focused care, family focused care, continuity of care and
staff qualities that has helped in gaining better outcome in context of maternity care.
Perinatal Data Collection is one of the data collection method on the information related to
pregnancy and childbirth. This information’s are generally collected from different sources such
as from mothers or from hospital and notification form for each birth. Thus, it helps in effective
planning of healthcare services to women that are belong to group of CALD in Australia.
Moreover, the main purpose of making use of Perinatal Data Collection method is that it helps in
monitoring the outcome pattern within the midwifery and obstetrics. The gap is that they are not
collected for similar purposes.
Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale is valuable and efficient way that helps in
identifying the patient at which risk for” perinatal depression. It has also been find out that it is
most easy to administer and proven effective screening tool. In addition to this, the scale helps in
identifying or driving what a mother has felt during its previous week of delivery. Likewise, as
per this the women that has achieve score above 13 are more likely to suffer depression illness
therefore careful clinical assessment should be completed for better diagnosis (de Bruin-
Kooistra, & et.al., 2012). Postnatal Depression Scale does not detect information related to
whether the mother has been feeling anxiety, personality disorder or phobias. Therefore, it is tool
that have set of screening question that helps in finding out whether the symptoms are similar to
what a women feel during the pregnancy such as depression and anxiety.
My experience matter is also one of the tool that helps in gathering information related to
the experience of CALD women that they have face during the period of pregnancy. It helps in
identifying and understanding whether they all have same experience during their maternity care
or different. Furthermore, it also helps in understanding key areas that needs to be improved so
