Why Google it when you can ask a midwife?
At Book a Midwife, we believe your body already knows how to grow, birth, and nurture your baby. The wisdom is there, we have somehow forgotten it.
We offer a safe, supportive space to ask your questions, understand your choices, and feel confident every step of the way. Whether you're navigating pregnancy, preparing for birth, or finding your feet in those early weeks with a newborn, we're here to walk beside you with knowledge, reassurance, and care. And we're as easy to reach as "Google It", with virtual midwifery care available Australia-wide, 7 days a week, and bulk billed through Medicare, so it costs you exactly what Google does: nothing.

HOW WE SUPPORT YOU
OUR SERVICES
We offer a range of services designed to meet you where you are. Whether you're early in pregnancy, navigating the months ahead, preparing for birth, or settling into life with your new baby. Grounded in evidence-based midwifery care and led by experienced, endorsed midwives, our work is centred on creating a safe, supportive space for you to feel informed, heard, and confident. Each appointment is tailored to your unique story, at your pace, and with the care you and your baby deserve.
PREGNANCY CARE
From the moment you pee on a stick to the moment you head into labour land, we are there. Need a blood test, ultrasound, prescription, hospital referral, second opinion, or need to know what is normal, what to eat, or why Elevit is so bad. Our team of midwives have you, as often as you need and when you need, for all your pregnancy needs.
BIRTH EDUCATION
Confident birth begins with understanding how your body works. Using evidence-based, physiology-led teaching, we help you understand your choices, trust your instincts, and prepare for birth feeling calm, informed, and ready, without fear or overwhelm....no matter how you choose to birth!
POSTPARTUM CARE
For your first 7 weeks postpartum you can access a midwife everyday of the week! Lost in the newborn haze, have questions about your birth, or maybe you're wondering if your baby's poop, spit-up, or skin rash is normal. Or is it a postpartum blood level check, a pelvic ultrasound because this postpartum bleeding just won't quit! We also have you sorted with prescriptions, newborn care, postpartum healing + more!
CONTINUITY OF CARE
Continuity of Care is the GOLD STANDARD and oodles of research shows that it improves outcomes for both mum and baby. And yes, we will not be there in your birth room, but seeing the same midwife from the beginning of pregnancy through to postpartum, to hold space, to educate, to support, to guide on advocacy improves outcomes! And when continuity of care is so damn hard to get, we offer it too all and you even get to pick your midwife!
LACTATION CONSULTS
We offer 3 exceptional IBCLC Lactation Consultants and all appointments within the first 7 weeks postpartum are BULK BILLED with a IBCLC! Amazing right! Not getting enough milk? Is my baby getting enough milk? Why do my nipples still hurt? Is this mastitis? Our Lactation Consultants are there, no matter where you are located throughout Australia.

OUR FOUNDER
GET TO KNOW KATE
I’ve experienced continuity of midwifery care as a pregnant woman, and I’ve been providing it as a midwife for years. I’ve seen first-hand how life-changing it is when a woman feels truly known, heard, and supported by the same midwife across her whole journey.
But I got tired of waiting.
Tired of watching research pile up proving the benefits of midwifery care… and tired of seeing nothing change.
So I stopped waiting.
And I built it.
Book a Midwife is my answer. A way for every woman, no matter where she lives, what hospital she’s booked at, what her bank balance says or how she’s planning to birth, she gets access to a midwife. Her own midwife. One who sticks with her the whole way through.
If you're pregnant, you need a midwife.
That’s the standard we should all expect.
And that’s exactly what I’m here to give you.
WHY WORK WITH US
At Book a Midwife we provide a revolutionary new way for women to access maternity care. We have a deep belief that ALL women expecting or just had a baby, MUST have access to a Midwife, when she needs a Midwife. But not only that, we wanted women to recieve care we are all craving. To been seen, heard, held and access to healthcare that isn't friggin difficult!
