N2  - This paper, which is based on the preliminary findings of the Australian Midwifery Action Project (AMAP), outlinesthe issues around the midwifery labour force and education in Australia. One of the most alarming features is thelack of comprehensive data on midwives. Where data is available it demonstrates the shortage of midwives and thelack of consistency in educational programs for midwives within states and nationally. It is difficult to form a nationalpicture with published sources of data because there are differences in definition and a lack of relevant information.Strategies for educational reform are discussed in relation to improving the supply and preparation of midwives.
