"In Queensland, in 2006, CS rates were 26.9 and 48.0% among public and private sector patients, respectively. ....The CS rate in Queensland in 2006 was higher than in any other Australian state. The increase in Queensland's CS rates can be attributed to both the rising number of primary caesarean births and the rising number of repeat caesareans."
