Who We Are
The 3centres Collaboration refers to the:
- Collective decisions undertaken by a joint steering group of obstetric and midwifery directors from Victoria's three level six maternity hospitals or 'centres' – Mercy Hospital for Women, The Royal Women's Hospital and Monash Medical Centre (Southern Health). The steering group also includes the Director of the Perinatal Emergency Referral Service (PERS) and the Manager of the Maternity and Newborn Clinical Network (MNCN). A senior representative from the Victorian Department of Health (DH) participates in the group as a non-voting member.
- Work Program January 2009 to December 2011 (PDF 60KB) which embodies these joint decisions.
