Where to turn between visits
A short list of Australian organisations our midwives point families to. Your own midwife is always the first person to ask about your care.
Chosen, not collected
Help you can trust
Each organisation below runs its own service and publishes its own information. They sit alongside the care our midwives give at home, such as antenatal classes, feeding support and emotional support after the birth, rather than replacing it. The helpline numbers were checked on their own websites on 25 September 2026. Several run free helplines, so there is someone to call in the hours between one visit and the next.

From our midwives
Each practice, in her own words
Every EverNurture midwife keeps her own website, with her background, the care she offers and how to book with her.
If something is urgent
Who to call first
In an emergency, call 000. For health advice at any hour, Healthdirect has a registered nurse on 1800 022 222. Your midwife can tell you how to reach her between visits.
These organisations are independent of EverNurture. We link to them because families ask for them, not because they are part of our care.
