Having a baby is a very exciting time and at Northeast Health we’re here to support you throughout your pregnancy, birth and postnatal journey.
Our flexible approach to antenatal care means that you can choose the model of care that suits your individual health needs and preferences.
Due to the busy nature of this clinic, there can be a long wait for appointments. Please bring with you water, snacks and something to read so you are more comfortable while you wait.
The Midwifery Group Practice (MGP) is available for low to medium risk pregnancies. While the Antenatal Clinics at Northeast Health and Yarrawonga Health both provide shared care between your General Practitioner (GP) and our team of obstetricians, hospital doctors and midwives at Northeast Health.
