MIDWIFE Home visits.
We’re here to support you with midwife home visits, giving you extra confidence and care in the comfort of your home. We offer support and advice for anything and everything to do with pregnancy, birth and baby!
What We Do:
During each appointment, we offer a pregnancy or postnatal and baby health check to ensure that we provide you with the most comprehensive service. If we identify any concerns, we will refer you to your midwife, doctor or hospital for further care. We don’t replace the care from your usual care team, but we’re here to supplement it with valuable care whenever you need it.
Whether it’s ongoing or just a one-time chat or check-up, we’ll guide you through pregnancy and those tricky early weeks after birth with your new baby.
High-risk pregnancy? We provide that extra reassurance you’re seek along with valuable midwifery input. Because every woman needs a midwife, and some need an obstetrician, too.
Our Fees
Home visit with a Medicare card: $250 travel fee applies (the appointment itself is bulk-billed)
Home visit without a Medicare card: $400 ($150 appointment fee and $250 travel fee)
It’s important to note that for home visits, the travel fee (and appointment fee, if applicable) is paid upfront when you book.
We require at least 48 hours’ notice to change or cancel a home visit. The travel fee will not be refunded if you change or cancel your appointment with less than 48 hours’ notice.
Criteria: pregnant or with a baby who is under the age of 6 weeks and 6 days.
Please note: we are super keen to keep the cost down for you. We find that most issues can successfully be managed via phone or video call, and this is free if you have a Medicare card. Whilst you’re always very welcome to book a home visit, you might like to start with a phone or video call and if we can’t resolve the issue that way, we can book a home visit.

How to get the best out of your care team. Childbirth education. Feelings of overwhelm or anxiety. Options for care and care providers.
