Our small, supportive service is based in the heart of South Gippsland — a welcoming region known for its coastal beauty, rolling farmland, and community spirit. The maternity unit is staffed by a team of two midwives rostered each AM and PM shift, with one midwife on call overnight to support deliveries. This model fosters solid continuity of care and a truly collaborative working workplace between GPs, midwives, and nursing staff.
