OUR HEALTH SERVICES
Antenatal Care
Antenatal care is offered following confirmation of pregnancy with a referral from your GP or you can self refer. The highly experienced midwives at PPC can order all pregnancy related tests and ultrasound scans and organise a referral to book into your local hospital. If you would like to continue seeing your GP through your pregnancy, a shared care option is available.
The midwives at PPC offer ample opportunity at every appointment to discuss and questions or concerns you may have throughout your pregnancy. They offer continued support and guidance throughout to ensure you feel informed on all aspects of your maternity care.
For any complications that may arise during your pregnancy, we can offer access to a specialist GP who will determine whether transfer to hospital care is indicated.
All appointments are 100% bulk billed in our welcoming centre.
A service fee is payable for clients continuing care with PPC after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
Postnatal Care
Following hospital discharge, visits will be arranged by the hospital home visiting service. Home visits will be offered until your baby is 5 days old.
Continued postnatal care and feeding support is offered in our welcoming centre after this time up until your baby is 6 weeks old. This service is 100% bulk billed.
The midwives at PPC will offer support and advice throughout your transition into parenthood.
If you experience difficulties with breastfeeding your baby, the lactation consultant can offer specialist support as part of your bulk billed postnatal care.
Lactation Consultations
Breastfeeding issues can arise at any point in your breastfeeding journey.
If you require the services of a lactation consultant at any time following the birth of your baby, you can access Perth Pregnancy Centre for both clinic based and home appointments.
