Obstetrics & Midwifery

An Obstetrician supports women during pregnancy and childbirth and in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the female reproductive organs. Referrals will be clinically reviewed, and appointments booked according to clinical categorisation.

A midwife is specially trained to support and care for women during pregnancy, labour, and birth. Midwives work in public and private hospitals, with obstetricians, and in the community. They help you to stay healthy in pregnancy. If there are no complications, they can help you to give birth too. Midwives also care for you and your baby in the first few weeks after the birth.
