Background

Maternity care clinic in Carindale, with your own GP.

Our maternity care clinic in Carindale gives you a GP who stays with you from pregnancy confirmation through to your six-week postnatal check. We work in partnership with your chosen hospital on antenatal shared care, so more of your routine checks happen close to home.

01 Maternity care in Carindale

GP-led maternity care, from your first test to your six-week check

Our maternity care clinic in Carindale is built around one simple idea: you should have a GP who knows your story for the whole of your pregnancy. Whether you have just seen a positive test or you are already a few months along, our GPs confirm your pregnancy, arrange your early tests and referrals, and then share your antenatal care with your chosen hospital.

Shared care means your routine checks happen here at Westfield Carindale, while your hospital team looks after the key visits, scans and the birth itself. After your baby arrives, we see you both again for the six-week postnatal check and can stay on as your family GP. Many women find that this continuity makes pregnancy feel less clinical and far more personal.

In short: Carindale Doctors is a mixed billing general practice inside Westfield Carindale offering GP-led maternity care. We confirm your pregnancy, coordinate antenatal shared care with your chosen hospital and provide your six-week postnatal check. Your baby is bulk billed, Medicare rebates apply where eligible, and appointments are usually available within a few days.

  • Pregnancy confirmation and first antenatal visit
  • Early blood tests, screening and scan referrals
  • Antenatal shared care with your chosen hospital
  • Mental health and wellbeing checks at each stage
  • Six-week postnatal check for you and your baby
  • Medicare rebates processed onsite where eligible

02 Your maternity GP

A familiar GP alongside your hospital team

Carindale is home to plenty of young families, and many of the women we see are juggling work, older children and a growing list of appointments. Having maternity care inside the shopping centre means a routine check can fit around a lunch break or the weekly shop, rather than a trip across Brisbane each time.

Bring your pregnancy health record to every visit so your GP and hospital team are always working from the same information.

Your GP stays your main point of contact between hospital visits. If something feels off, from unexpected bleeding to low mood, you can book in with someone who already knows your history. Learn more about our wider family planning clinic and pregnancy services.

03 Common concerns

What expectant mums in Carindale ask us most

Every pregnancy is different, but the same worries come up again and again in our consult rooms. These are the concerns we help with most often:

  • Not knowing where to start: you have a positive test and are unsure who to see first or which hospital to choose.
  • Feeling rushed at hospital visits: busy clinics can leave little time for questions, so we set aside time to talk things through.
  • Juggling appointments: shared care cuts down the number of trips to hospital outpatient clinics.
  • Emotional ups and downs: anxiety and low mood are common in pregnancy, and we check in on your wellbeing, not just your blood pressure.

If you have had a previous complicated pregnancy, a chronic condition such as diabetes or high blood pressure, or you are carrying twins, your GP will talk you through whether shared care suits you or whether hospital-led care is safer.

If you have heavy bleeding, severe abdominal pain or reduced baby movements, contact your hospital birth suite or call 000 straight away.

05 Our approach

How our maternity care clinic works

We keep the process clear from the start, so you always know what comes next. Most women follow the same four steps:

  • Step 1, confirm: book a standard consultation once you have a positive test, and we confirm the pregnancy and talk through your options.
  • Step 2, plan: we arrange your early tests, discuss your preferred hospital and send the referral for shared care.
  • Step 3, share your care: routine antenatal checks alternate between your GP here and your hospital team.
  • Step 4, follow up: after the birth, we see you and your baby for the six-week check and continue as your family GP.
