Birthing At Northern Beaches

 

Our Birthing Team

Our team is here to help you during every stage of pregnancy and delivery, and after your baby is safely here.

We’re a community of happy, highly-experienced midwives, obstetricians and support staff who love what we do.

We are passionate about providing excellent care and supporting your birth plan.

Our job is a special one that involves the safe delivery of thousands of babies and the health and wellbeing of mums.

We’ll be there for you during that very special getting-to-know-you phase for parents and their precious new family member.

And as you head home we also want to do our best to help you and your families feel happy and confident. As well as providing advice around breastfeeding, bathing and baby-settling techniques, we also prioritise mums’ emotional wellbeing as they adjust to their new life. 

Your Birthing Choices

At Northern Beaches Hospital, you have many birthing options so you can design the experience to suit you.

It begins with the care type:

• The Private Experience - for privately insured mothers. You choose your obstretrician and enjoy a range of special extras that the private experience can offer including luxury high tea and celebration plate.
• Public Care - as a public mum you can choose from a range of care models including midwifery group practice for low-risk pregnancies, midwifery-led care and GP shared care.  
• Want the private experience but don't have health insurance? We can tailor a package to suit your needs and discuss your individual costs. 

Other options available include water births and midwifery in the home. Speak to our team about your choices.
