Questions families often ask us

EverNurture brings four endorsed midwives together in one place. Each of them runs her own independent midwifery practice and provides personalised home visits for new mums, newborn babies and growing families. How it works explains the arrangement.

Suzie of Babee Bump & Beyond, Rebecca of Bloom with Bec Midwifery, Nohelia (Natalie) of Bumps to Bubz, and Elisa of Midwife Elisa. Short introductions and their contact details are on Meet the midwives.

No. Choose the one you would like to see and contact her directly. If you would rather not choose first, send one enquiry and tell us what you are looking for.

Each midwife works independently, so you are free to contact another one. It is worth telling both midwives, so your care is not interrupted.

The midwife you have booked with. She arranges your visits, confirms your Medicare eligibility and her fee, and is the person to ask about anything between visits.

On her own website. Every midwife publishes her background and the care she offers there, and can tell you her fees. The links are on About EverNurture.

Eligible families may access Medicare rebates for home visits in the weeks after their baby is born. The rebate window is limited, so ask your midwife whether you qualify and how long it runs for you.

For eligible families the rebate covers part of each visit, and the gap depends on her fee and whether you have reached the Medicare safety net (opens in a new tab). Visit fees are set by each midwife, so confirm her fee and the gap you would pay when you book. See Rebates and fees.

Yes. Home visits can include baby health checks and wellbeing, and mum health checks, which also cover your emotional wellbeing and mental health.

Yes, and it is the most common reason families book a visit. Feeding support sets out what that covers, whichever way you are feeding.

Emotional wellbeing and mental health support are part of the mum health checks. When you need more help than a home visit can give, your midwife can refer you and help coordinate your care.

Along with health checks and feeding, visits can include:

• Parenting support and practical strategies
• Education and reassurance for new parents
• Referrals and care coordination when required

No. The EverNurture midwives do not provide labour and birth care. Your birth is looked after by your hospital or birth service. Their care sits either side of it: childbirth education while you are pregnant, and home visits once you and your baby are home.

All four offer antenatal and childbirth education at home, which is preparation rather than clinical care. Your pregnancy appointments continue with your GP, hospital midwife or obstetrician as usual. See antenatal classes.

Get in touch with your chosen midwife by phone or email. All four sets of contact details are on the Book a home visit page. You can also send an enquiry.

Yes. You deal with your chosen midwife directly, and the enquiry form has a field for naming a preference.
