Find local midwives and homebirth midwives throughout Australia in our comprehensive online directory of midwives. Find a midwife for your birth needs easily!

Independent midwives provide private care for expectant mothers - everything from ante-natal visits, through the birth itself, particularly for homebirths, and post-natal care. If your pregnancy is considered high risk you may be referred to an obstetrician for some specialist care.

You can also employ a private midwife for additional services such as...

  • preconception health (preparation for pregnancy)
  • all medical ante-natal care
  • childbirth education
  • well-being during pregnancy, such as nutrition, exercise, support
  • information on birthing options and the effects of any drugs which may be used in labour
  • expectations/anxieties
  • postnatal care for both mother and child, including infant feeding and settling
  • lactation consultants, providing specialised support for mothers, with breastfeeding
