The aim of the NSW Pregnancy and Newborn Services Network is to improve the process and outcome of maternal and neonatal care in NSW, especially to those women and/or babies at risk of an adverse outcome, through clinical co-ordination, education and research. This is achieved through collaboration and communication with service providers.

The PSN is multidisciplinary organisation of clinicians striving to provide the best care for high risk pregnant women and newborn infants.

The focus is on the needs of women and babies.

The research arm of the PSN is the Centre for Perinatal Health Services Research (CPHSR). This is important for implementation of research into clinical practice. It enables the enhancement of research rigor and capacity through collaboration within the University of Sydney, across the State, nationally and internationally.
