Maternity care clinic in Carindale, alongside your hospital.

Antenatal shared care is an arrangement where your pregnancy care is split between a GP and your hospital. Your hospital team handles the booking visit, key scans, specialist reviews and the birth, while your GP looks after many of the routine checks in between. At our maternity care clinic in Carindale, we’ve built this partnership so it feels seamless for you.

The result is fewer long hospital outpatient visits, more time with a doctor who knows you, and a clear plan that both teams follow. Your GP and hospital share information through your pregnancy health record and letters, so everyone stays on the same page from your first visit to your last.

In short: Carindale Doctors’ maternity care clinic inside Westfield Carindale provides antenatal shared care with your chosen hospital. Your GP handles routine checks, tests and referrals, while the hospital manages key visits and the birth. Medicare rebates apply where eligible, and your baby is bulk billed.

• Shared care plan agreed with your hospital
• Routine antenatal checks with your GP
• Tests and scans arranged at the right time
• Results shared through your pregnancy record
• Quick access to your GP between hospital visits
• Postnatal care for you and your baby

Shared care is flexible, and your plan can change if your pregnancy needs closer hospital monitoring. Common reasons include:

• Gestational diabetes: you may need more input from the hospital's diabetes team.
• High blood pressure: regular reviews at the hospital may be recommended.
• Twins or more: multiple pregnancies are usually hospital-led.
• Previous complications: such as preterm birth or a previous caesarean with complications.

Even if your care moves to the hospital, we remain your GP for any other health concerns and can pick up your care again after the birth.

Starting shared care with us is simple:

• Step 1, confirm your pregnancy: book a standard GP consultation once your test is positive.
• Step 2, referral: your GP sends a referral to your chosen hospital and arranges early tests.
• Step 3, booking-in: you attend your hospital booking visit, where shared care is confirmed.
• Step 4, alternate visits: routine checks then alternate between our clinic and the hospital.
