Private midwifery care means you are supported by a known midwife or small team of midwives who walk alongside you through pregnancy, birth, and early postpartum.

At Nurture and Nourish, this means you are truly known to your care team. You don’t need to retell your story at every appointment or meet unfamiliar faces in labour — your care is continuous, familiar, and centred around you.

Yes. We offer planned home birth care for women with low-risk pregnancies across Tamworth and surrounding rural communities.

For women with low-risk pregnancies, planned home birth with an experienced midwife is supported by research as a safe option when appropriate screening, equipment, and clear transfer pathways are in place.

At Nurture and Nourish, we carefully assess eligibility for home birth and provide thorough preparation throughout your pregnancy. We attend your birth with appropriate emergency equipment and medications, and maintain clear, collaborative pathways with local hospitals should transfer ever be needed.

If home birth is the right option for you, you will be supported by two known midwives at your birth, providing calm, continuous care in your own space, with safety and respect guiding every step of your journey.

Yes, absolutely.

Many of the families we support choose hospital birth and still deeply value having a known midwife walking alongside them throughout pregnancy and the postnatal period.

Your Nurture and Nourish midwife also provides early labour support at home, helping you settle into labour in your own space with calm, continuous care. Families often choose this option to have a trusted midwife who knows them well, supports informed decision-making, and provides reassurance and guidance as labour begins.

We then continue this care into the hospital setting, attending as your known midwife, advocate, and continuous support person during your labour and birth. We stay by your side to support your choices, help communicate your preferences, and ensure you feel heard, safe, and respected within the hospital environment.

Our role is to provide continuity, calm, and familiar support — so even in hospital, you are not alone in your journey.

As Endorsed Midwives, we are able to offer Medicare-rebatable care for eligible services, particularly in the postnatal period.

This helps make private midwifery care more accessible for families. We will always take the time to talk you through fees and rebates clearly, so you feel informed and comfortable before beginning care.

We gently recommend booking early in pregnancy, as we take a limited number of families each month to ensure each woman receives true continuity of care.

If you are further along in your pregnancy, you are still welcome to reach out — we will always do our best to support you if we have availability.

Yes. We proudly support women and families across Tamworth and surrounding rural communities, ​​as well as those living in other regional and remote areas.

For families who are not local, we also offer virtual midwifery appointments, including bulk-billed antenatal and postnatal consultations where eligible. This allows you to still access continuity of care, education, reassurance, and ongoing midwifery support no matter where you live.

Our goal is to ensure families in rural and regional areas can access safe, consistent, and compassionate midwifery care, even when distance makes in-person visits more challenging.

If you’re planning a home birth and transfer becomes necessary, this is always approached with care, calm, and clear communication.

At Nurture and Nourish, we carefully assess eligibility for home birth, provide thorough preparation during pregnancy, carry emergency equipment and medications, and maintain clear collaboration pathways with local hospitals should transfer ever be needed.

If a transfer does occur, your Nurture and Nourish midwife stays by your side. She continues to advocate for you, provide comfort measures, and support your choices, ensuring continuity even in a hospital setting.

Our care is designed to support you gently and continuously through:

• Pregnancy and antenatal care

• Education and birth preparation

• Labour and birth support (home or hospital where appropriate)

• Postnatal care in your home

• Feeding and early parenting support

Every journey is individual, and your care is shaped around your needs and preferences.

Our homebirth model is built around familiarity, safety, and continuity.

You are supported by two known midwives at your birth, so you are cared for by people you already know and trust.

We focus on creating a calm, supported environment where birth can unfold naturally, with clear safety planning and hospital collaboration if ever needed.

No referral is needed. You are welcome to contact us directly whenever you feel ready.

We will arrange a time to talk through your pregnancy, your hopes, and how we can support you.

Eligibility is based on your individual pregnancy and wellbeing.

We will always take the time to gently assess this with you during your first consultation, ensuring private midwifery care is a safe and supportive option for your journey.

That is completely okay.

Many women feel unsure at the beginning. We are here to talk things through with you, answer your questions, and help you understand your options without pressure or expectation.

You are always welcome to reach out, even just to explore what feels right for you.

You can contact us directly to arrange a Meet and Greet appointment.

This is a gentle, relaxed consultation where we take the time to get to know you, your pregnancy, and the kind of support that feels right for you moving forward.

If you are pregnant, this appointment is bulk billed where eligible, making it an accessible first step in exploring your care options with us.
