About
Meet Melinda, your Endorsed Midwife in Brisbane
“Hi, I’m Melinda, so glad you’re here.”
I’m an Endorsed Midwife based in Brisbane, with extensive hospital experience across Birth Suite and antenatal and postnatal care. Alongside my hospital work, I now offer private, individualised continuity of care, walking beside you through pregnancy, birth planning, and the first six weeks with your new baby.
My care is calm, personalised and evidence-based, because every woman and family deserves to feel truly seen, heard and supported.

Bulk-billed midwifery care
Quality care, within reach of every family
I believe personalised, evidence-based midwifery care should be within reach of every family, not only those who can afford high out-of-pocket costs. Bulk billing is currently available for eligible Medicare card holders, and never means lesser care.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a GP referral to see a private midwife?
No referral is needed to book. You’re welcome to reach out directly. For some services and Medicare rebates a referral or shared-care arrangement may apply, and I’ll guide you through it.
What is an Endorsed Midwife?
An Endorsed Midwife has completed additional NMBA-approved qualifications, allowing me to prescribe certain medications and provide Medicare-eligible midwifery care.
Are appointments bulk billed?
Bulk billing is currently available for eligible Medicare card holders in selected areas and for all telehealth appointments. Other areas are privately billed, with Medicare rebates for eligible card holders.
Do you offer care outside Brisbane?
Yes, telehealth appointments are available right across Australia, by phone or video.
When should I book antenatal care?
As early as you like. Antenatal intakes are limited to two per month, so booking ahead is best.
