Abstract

This paper presents a conceptual framework for examining maternal and neonatal health outcomes in Australia, focusing on the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). Secondary data from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) and Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) were used to explore health outcomes in relation to maternal age, smoking habits, gestational health, indigenous heritage, geographic remoteness, access to healthcare facilities, and income levels. The study highlights the adverse effects of maternal smoking on perinatal mortality and the significant role of socio-demographic factors like maternal age, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status in shaping these outcomes. Findings also indicate how persistent disparities affect health outcomes across different demographic groups, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions. These insights offer guidance for policy enhancements in maternal and infant health in Australia, particularly within the ACT, and recommends for a National Digital Maternal and Neonatal Program to enhance maternal and neonatal literacy.
