[ozmidwifery] Birth in Launceston

[Katy O'Neill]

Dear anyone,    I have just had a call from my niece in Tassie who wanted info on the options for  care in Launceston. She is thinking of taking out private health insurance  as they have heard a few scary stories ( "your wife would have died if I did not step in" ) and are concerned about the amount of care etc she will get with BF amongst other things.  I tried not to be too negative about private as it is a con here where I work,  there is no continuity of care with Obs even if they do go private. Is there someone out there that works at Launceston Hosp. or an independent midwife that she could contact to see how the system down there works.  Is there a midwives clinic option?  Feel free to contact me on [EMAIL PROTECTED]  .   Katy.
