Most health insurance companies do not cover any antenatal visits so therefore there is generally a gap charged by your obstetrician. With the midwifery led care programme at JOGG your midwife works in collaboration with your delivering obstetrician and bulk bills all your appointments, therefore reducing the cost of maternity care. You do see your obstetrician at 36W and 40W ($150 – $300 gap) and your obstetrician will be there at your birth.

Other than the obvious reduction on financial strain, midwives are the guardians of normal birth! The name midwife literally means ‘with woman’.
