Continuity of Care with a Known Midwife

Bulk Billed Midwifery Care - no out-of-pocket costs - fully covered by Medicare for pregnancy and postpartum.

We are an exclusive midwifery care clinic, and we make it simple and stress-free for you to see a midwife when you need it most.

Think of us like a doctors clinic, but instead of doctors, it’s filled with midwives—here to support you for whenever you needs us in pregnancy and postpartum.

We know how frustrating it can be to wait weeks for an appointment, feel rushed during your visit, or leave without having all your questions answered. That’s why we offer easy, flexible access to midwives who take the time to really listen and provide the care you need. Whether it’s your first baby or your fifth, you can choose the type of care that works best for you.

Want to see someone early on for reassurance? Need advice on managing morning sickness or concerns about your baby’s growth? Our midwives are here for it all—no matter how big or small the issue. You get to decide when and how often you see us, with continuity of care that means you’ll build a relationship with the same midwife throughout your pregnancy.

We believe every woman deserves personalised, affordable, and accessible care. You’re in control of your pregnancy, and we’re here to make sure you feel supported and confident.

Hey, I’m Clare—proud mum of 4 boys, former NICU nurse, and a recovering hospital midwife. My journey to private midwifery reignited my passion for connecting with birthing women and the amazing people who support them. I’m all about helping you feel empowered in your choices and reminding you that you’re the expert in your own birth.

I love educating, supporting, and being part of your birth experience.

Hey, I’m Kate—mum to three, coffee addict, bali lover, and a fiery, passionate midwife who’s over the BS we’ve been told about pregnancy, birth, and motherhood. I’m here to show you just how strong you are and help break down the idea that we’re somehow not good at this. You’ve got everything it takes to thrive, and I’m all about supporting you to see that power within yourself.
