Continuity Midwife Program

Continuity Midwife Program (CMP) provides women with access to a midwife or small team of midwives who cares for you throughout the childbearing journey and early parenting period.

About the program:

This service is to provide women with access to a known midwife during their pregnancy, birth and after baby care. CMP is run by a small team of experienced midwives, working to provide continuity of care. The CMP midwives aim to support you during your labour, birth, and postnatal journey. Postnatal care will be in the comfort of your own home. If you are wishing to join CMP please phone (03) 5564 4154 or email swh.cmp@swh.net.au to enquire about being part of the program. You can enquire at any stage of pregnancy but as CMP has limited numbers preferably after your first ultrasound confirming your pregnancy, and within the first 16 weeks. Self-referral is required for this service.

Who we provide care for :

CMP has the capacity, to offer care to 12 women per month. The program is an all risk model, we welcome all families and women whether it’s your first pregnancy or you have already experienced the childbirth journey.

CMP is able to offer the service to women who live within a 30 km radius of Warrnambool.
