Providing you with reassurance, confidence and peace of mind when you need it most – on returning home. Our experienced midwives will provide you and your baby with the highest standard of holistic, post natal care to assist you to successfully manage your baby’s feeding and care needs in the relaxed environment of your own home during this exciting, but challenging time.

Early Hospital Discharge Support

If you decide you would prefer an early discharge from hospital and your Obstetrician and Paediatrician are agreeable – our experienced midwives will provide all aspects of your post natal care in your home, working collaboratively with your Medical Specialists, ensuring the best results are achieved for you, your baby and family.
