midwife managed birthing centres
'Birthing centres' provide for more natural 'at-home' style ante-natal care, labour & birth. Managed by midwives, the philosophy is to have minimal use of pain-relieving drugs during the birth. Centres are located within hospitals so that more intensive medical care is immediately available should an emergency arise. We have identified in the hospital listing below which hospitals currently have birthing centres and have also provided a separate list here. Places are limited and are only available to pregnancies considered low risk. Early enrollment is advised.

The BFHI symbol after some hospitals within our listings below indicates that the hospital has been accredited by the Baby Friendly Health Initiative.

For convenience, we've divided the hospitals into regions of Victoria - you may wish to look through other sections if you live in an area that could be covered by more than one of our regions.

The facilities listed below provide birthing facilities. There are a number of additional rural facilities that offer ante-natal and postnatal care but require you to go to a large facility for actual delivery. Check with your local GP if you will require this service.
