Bringing a baby into the world should feel safe and close to home, not like a race to town. Our midwives support you through labour, birth and the first hours with your newborn, with a plan for referral if a higher level of care is needed.
Many mothers we meet started labour without a plan: no bag packed, no transport arranged, no idea whether SHA would cover them. Planning together during antenatal visits changes that. By the time contractions start you know where you're going, who'll be there and what to bring.

Under current SHA rules, normal delivery at Level 2 and 3 facilities is paid for through the Primary Healthcare Fund for registered members. Register on SHA (dial *147#) early in pregnancy and ask our front desk to confirm your status before your due date.
