MIDWIFERY GROUP PRACTICE

MGP is a well-established model of maternity care that provides continuity of care from a ‘known’ midwife, in an on-call capacity, during pregnancy, labour and birth, and during the early parenting period to birthing women/people and their families.
We offer a range of birthing options including hospital birth, waterbirth and homebirth. We prioritise care for those who identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander, may be young, planning a vaginal birth after caesarean, motivated for a physiological birth, living with a disability, seeking refuge, have a history of trauma or perinatal loss or experiencing social or mental health concerns.
Your unique skills are important to us. You will have the autonomy to create a balanced caseload that allows you a full scope of midwifery or to specialise in your practice.
