Team Midwifery Program
The Team Midwifery Program (TMP) provides women with pregnancy care from the same or a small group of midwives for the duration of their pregnancy, labour, birth and where possible postnatal period. See the Team Midwifery Program page for more information.
GP Shared Care
Care is provided by your General Practitioner (GP) up to and including the birth (if your GP has admitting privileges*) with visits to our antenatal clinic planned at particular stages in the pregnancy.
There is no out-of-pocket cost for hospital services provided by GP obstetricians but there may be consultation costs for antenatal visits at the GP consultation rooms.
Please note to ensure physical distancing requirements are maintained for safety, we can only allow the patient and one support person/or one child to attend any antenatal clinic appointments.
Overseas patient fees
Hospital fees for patients who are not eligible for Medicare are set by the WA Department of Health. Overseas visitors and overseas students are required to pay for the cost of their care. More information about overseas patient fees.
