KOORI MATERNITY SERVICE

The MDAS Koori Maternity Service provides holistic care and support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and their families.

We are a family-centred service delivering safe, high-quality care during your pregnancy and after the birth of your baby.

If you are an Aboriginal woman having a baby, or you are a woman having an Aboriginal baby, our service is flexible and holistic - it's all about you and your family.

Our Midwives and Aboriginal Health Workers provide direct support during pregnancy but can also advocate on your behalf.

Services include:

- Support for women and their partners during pregnancy;

- Antenatal and postnatal education and care;

- Breastfeeding information and support;

- Family planning and contraceptive advice;

- Liaison with other health care providers;

- Referrals into other relevant programs.

After your baby is born, we can provide postnatal support, as well as linking you in with our MDAS Early Years Maternal and Child Health Nurse and our Early Learning and Early Years Groups.

You can contact us by email, visit us at MDAS Mildura and Swan Hill, or we can come to you.
