How do I book in at Angliss Hospital maternity?

Eastern Health needs a doctor's referral for all maternity bookings.

1. See your GP. Ask your GP to send an electronic referral to Eastern Health Maternity Bookings through HealthLink.
2. Say which care you want. If you would like Midwifery Group Practice, tell your GP early. Places are limited to 3 to 4 a month for each midwife.
3. Find out your birthing hospital. Eastern Health gives births at Angliss or Box Hill. It decides based on your clinical needs, the hospital's capacity and your home address.
4. Have your first midwife appointment. You will be given a link to book childbirth education classes at this visit.
5. Book your classes. Eastern Health suggests starting classes at about 30 to 32 weeks. The in-person session includes a tour of the maternity unit.

What pregnancy care options does Angliss Hospital offer?

• Midwifery Group Practice. A primary midwife looks after you through pregnancy, birth and the first days after, with a second midwife as backup. It is for healthy women having one baby, with a BMI of 18 to 35.
• Midwifery care (Green Pathway). For women with no medical or obstetric problems and an uncomplicated pregnancy.
• Obstetric-led care (Red Pathway). For women with medical or obstetric complexity, led by an obstetrician.
• Shared care with your GP. Your GP gives most of your antenatal and postnatal care, and the hospital looks after the birth.
• Private obstetrician. You can choose a private obstetrician who offers care through Eastern Health. It depends on your allocated hospital and has out-of-pocket costs.
• Early Pregnancy Assessment Service. For bleeding and pain before 20 weeks, by referral and appointment only.

Eastern Health does not offer publicly funded home birth. For more on choosing, see Pregnancy and birth care options.
