About this project
The primary purpose of this study is to ascertain whether the Bubup clinic at Monash Health (inclusive of the Aboriginal Midwifery Coordinator), provides a model of care that is feasible and acceptable for Aboriginal women and health professionals.

2. To ascertain Aboriginal women and health professionals’ perspectives on how the Bubup clinic can be enhanced to ensure sustainability.
3. To explore how to develop a safe and appropriate place for Aboriginal women to have community-based activities and maintain connection with culture and country.
