Maternity care services in Carindale, one familiar GP.
Our maternity care services in Carindale keep you with one familiar GP through your pregnancy, in shared care with your chosen hospital. Most routine checks happen close to home, followed by a six-week postnatal check for you and your baby.
All our maternity care services in one place
Our maternity care services in Carindale cover every step from planning a pregnancy to the weeks after your baby arrives. Before pregnancy, we offer pre-conception checks. Once you’re pregnant, we confirm the pregnancy, arrange early tests and set up shared care with your chosen hospital. Throughout pregnancy, we provide routine antenatal checks, vaccines and support, and after the birth, we see you and your baby for the six-week check and beyond.
The thread running through all of this is one familiar GP. Seeing the same doctor across your pregnancy builds trust, makes it easier to raise worries and means nothing gets lost between visits. It’s how maternity care should feel: personal, practical and close to home.
In short: Carindale Doctors’ maternity care services inside Westfield Carindale cover pre-conception checks, pregnancy confirmation, antenatal shared care with your hospital, pregnancy vaccines and the six-week postnatal check, all with one familiar GP. Your baby is bulk billed, and Medicare rebates apply where eligible.
- Pre-conception health checks

Why one familiar GP matters
Pregnancy brings many small questions and the occasional big worry. In Carindale, we make sure you can bring them to a GP who already knows your story, rather than starting again with someone new each visit.

Who suits GP shared care
Shared care is suitable for most women with healthy pregnancies. It may be less suitable if you have:
- Pre-existing conditions: such as type 1 diabetes or heart disease.
- A multiple pregnancy: twins or more.
- Previous complications: such as early birth or severe pre-eclampsia.
- Complications in this pregnancy: which may need hospital-led care.
Your hospital makes the final decision at your booking-in visit, and we’ll support you either way.
