Please note we do not have professional indemity insurance (PII) for labour & birth. Midwives have a regulatory requirement to have PII but are unable to obtain the product due to a world wide shortage of PII for midwives.
Therefore Midwives in private practice have been provided with an exemption for homebirth until June 30th 2025.
The Midwives working within the Collective have PII for antenatal and postnatal care with MIGA.
We respectfully acknowledge the Traditional Owners of country throughout Victoria and pay respect to the ongoing living cultures of First Peoples.
