About Us

 

Our Philosophy of Care

Our philosophy of care is woman-centred. We believe that all women should have care during their childbearing years that meets their needs for service, safe care, information sharing and accessibility. We also believe:

  • Pregnancy and birth are a normal part of a woman’s life.

  • Midwifery care is a mutually respectful partnership, built on trust and relationship, between the woman and her caregivers.

  • Women should expect to know their midwives through continuity of care.

  • Women have a right to up-to-date information and evidence-based research to make informed choices through pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period.

  • Care should be provided based on an understanding of a woman’s lived experience. This includes respect for social, cultural, emotional, spiritual and physical realities.

  • We believe that respect, support and clinical excellence are key to assisting women to give birth safely and joyously, with power and dignity.

  • We promote the health of women at every stage of life.
