Western Health - Sunshine Hospital

The Shared Maternity Care Program is available to all women with low risk pregnancies. Shared Maternity Care is a model of care which allows women to have the majority of their antenatal visits take place in the community with a hospital affiliated general practitioner, obstetrician or midwife. The woman attends Sunshine Hospital for some antenatal visits, and attends the hospital for the birth and immediate postnatal care. 

GPs and community midwives seeking accreditation to the Sunshine Hospital Shared Maternity Care Program should contact the Shared Maternity Care Coordinator.
