Lets Build Your Care Package

Got questions?

No, we don’t currently offer homebirths. Our private midwifery care is focused on antenatal and postnatal support for families planning to birth in hospital or a birth centre.
Not at this stage. Because midwifery care is highly individualised, we prefer to chat first to find the right package for your needs. Please reach out to us directly to discuss availability.
This can vary depending on the type of package and your circumstances. It can range from 20-22 one hour-appointments for a combined package. We’ll walk through all your options during our initial chat and customise a plan that works best for you and your family.
Absolutely. Care plans are flexible, and additional visits can be arranged as needed for either antenatal or postnatal support.
Limited weekend availability may be offered depending on clinical demand. We’ll always do our best to accommodate urgent postnatal needs.
We don’t attend births or offer doula services, but we’re happy to help you prepare emotionally and practically for your birth. If you’re looking for doula support or someone to attend your labour, we can help connect you with trusted local providers.
A travel fee applies for all home visits, based on your location within the Perth metro area. We’ll let you know the exact amount when we chat about your package.
Our package fees range from $2,500 to $5,500, depending on the type and number of visits included.
Medicare rebates may be available for antenatal and postnatal visits within the first 7 weeks after birth. Rebate amounts vary based on individual eligibility, and we’re happy to help guide you through what might apply.
Travel fees are additional for home visits and are based on your location within the Perth metro area.
