Medicare Rebate Services
Pregnancy and early parenting often come with questions, uncertainty, and moments where you simply need more time, reassurance, or guidance than a standard appointment allows.
The Nesting Circle offers supplementary midwifery consultations that can be accessed as needed throughout pregnancy and the postnatal period. These sessions are designed to complement your existing care, providing an additional layer of clinical support.
