Abstract
This is the first study to explore caseload implementation at a national level. Although the number of services offering caseload midwifery care has increased nationally, access remains relatively limited. Women who live in metropolitan areas and who are considered at 'low obstetric risk' are most likely to be able to access this model. Funding and support for establishing new models are the main barriers to implementation.
