Maternity services support

Our GPLO Maternity Shared Care Team is based at Logan Hospital. We work with maternity services teams in our hospitals and GPs who practise in the Metro South Health area. 

We help with:

  • referrals
  • patient handovers 
  • liaise with the obstetric team on your behalf.

We also run GP alignment education events each year. Search our events for future sessions.

How to become an Aligned GP

GPs need to complete MSH GP Alignment 1 (AM1) education to be considered aligned for a 3-year period.
To extend the alignment period by another 3 years GPs can participate in an AM1 event again or attend a MSH GP Alignment 2 (AM2) education event. 

  • AM2 can be completed as a stand-alone educational event. 
  • AM1 should be completed at least once every 6 years.

Completion of the MSH GP Alignment Program with us:

  • ensures that GPs can work with our hospitals for a period of 3 years
  • gives GPs a pathway to undertake the Mater Mothers' Hospital online bridging program.

Alignment education

Registration is now open for our next AM2 education event held on Saturday 7 September 2024.

Alternative pathways to become an Aligned GP

If you wish to provide maternity shared care with our hospitals, please check your eligibility on the alignment and re-alignment options flow chart.

GP Maternity Shared Care Online Bridging Program

The online bridging program is for GPs who already do shared care with Mater Mothers' Hospital and want to do shared care with Metro Souh Health. 
For more information about the program email GPLO_Maternity_Share_Care@health.qld.gov.au.
