The article offers information on the Australian Preterm Birth Alliance that was created in 2018 to safely lower the rate of early birth across Australia. Topics covered include data from 2017 which demonstrate that 8.7% of babies in Australia were preterm, the alliance's role in identifying preterm prevention strategies, and the Alliance's aim to lengthen pregnancy and optimise the timing of birth when planned birth is deemed necessary.
