QLD Perinatal Data Collection or Termination of Pregnancy Record
Populated pregnancy-outcome records about an identified person: Queensland Perinatal Data Collection (QPDC) and Perinatal Online birth records submitted under the Public Health Act 2005 (Qld), and termination of pregnancy records under the Termination of Pregnancy Act 2018 (Qld) - medical (MS-2 Step) and surgical termination clinic notes, referrals, consent and procedure records. They name the patient and carry pregnancy fields such as gestation, LMP, gravida and parity, mode of birth, birthweight, method of termination and medicines given. Termination of pregnancy data is among the most sensitive health information held and can expose a person to stigma, coercion, family violence or legal jeopardy outside Queensland. Boundary: topic mentions of pregnancy, abortion and contraception without a populated record belong to global-reproductive-health-data; cancer notifications to au-qld-cancer-register-notification.

- Confidence justification
- Medium: QPDC, Perinatal Online and termination of pregnancy wording is specific, and enforce tiers need a populated patient field and a populated pregnancy field, which manuals, patient information and statistics lack. Maternity records that do not use these titles (antenatal cards, birth suite notes) are not covered unless the title appears.

Known false positives
- QPDC manuals, Perinatal Online user guides and midwifery training material that list the data fields. Mitigation: No populated patient or pregnancy field, and manual, guide and training framing is excluded from enforce tiers.
- Termination of pregnancy patient information, clinical guidelines and legislation commentary. Mitigation: No populated patient field, and patient-information, fact sheet and guideline framing is excluded from enforce tiers.
- Published perinatal statistics. Mitigation: Aggregate figures carry no patient field and are excluded as statistics.
