Acknowledgement
If there are circumstances where my health and the health of my baby require assessment or treatment that cannot be provided by the Mildura Health Fund midwife or health care professional, I agree to be guided by them to seek assistance from the Mildura Base Public Hospital/Broken Hill Base Hospital/Swan Hill District Health. I understand this may mean returning to the hospital via the emergency department or directly to the post-natal ward. If directed by the Mildura Health Fund Midwife or health care professional or on any occasion where I am significantly concerned for my or my baby’s health, I will call an ambulance immediately.
While participating in this program I consent to the midwife and health care professional reviewing and taking clinical notes to record my progress and care. I am aware these notes will be securely stored at the Mildura Health Fund office, in accordance with Mildura Health Fund Privacy Policy. A copy of my clinical notes may also be provided to, or discussed with, where medically necessary, my doctor, GP, lactation specialist or any other relevant medical professional. Mildura Base Public Hospital/Broken Hill Base Hospital/Swan Hill District Health may also receive a copy of my clinical notes whilst under the care of the Mildura Health Fund midwife or health care professional.
