Know My Midwife Program (KMM)
The Know My Midwife program gives mums-to-be the very best in Midwifery Continuity-of-Care through the coordination of regular antenatal & postnatal appointments with our highly experienced Midwives and your chosen Obstetrician.
This gives you the opportunity to form meaningful and trusted relationships with those who will be with you on your path to motherhood.
How does the Know My Midwife Program work?
Once we have received a referral from your Obstetrician or you complete the enquiry below, our Maternity Navigator will make contact with you to arrange your initial Know My Midwife antenatal appointment.
The Midwife and your Obstetrician will share your care. They will collaboratively provide you and your loved ones with individual care and follow you through your motherhood journey.
There are no out-of-pocket costs to participate in the Know My Midwife program and appointments are held in our Maternity Clinics, Level 3 – Women’s & Children’s Services. The KMM program gives you the unique ability to get to know the ward, our staff and to feel comfortable within this environment before your admission.
