"Midwifery Group Practice"

About: Karratha Health Campus / Maternity Unit

(as the patient),

I joined the Karratha Midwifery Group Practice later in my pregnancy. The standard of care I received as a patient greatly improved. I felt that I was no longer just a number in the system, but rather an expectant mother whose care truly mattered.

I was paired with a midwife, Sheree, who tailored her care to suit my personality, as well as my needs and preferences throughout the pregnancy. She was warm, compassionate, and knowledgeable about navigating the healthcare system. As a new immigrant, the system is still quite new to me, so being part of the Midwifery Group Practice with Sheree made me feel as though I had someone on the inside of the system advocating for and supporting me

Sheree turned what could have been a stressful experience into one that was calm, informative, and nurturing.

The birth and postnatal care were handled expertly by the diligent, knowledgeable, and intuitive midwives, Emer and Laura.

I felt I was in the safest and calmest of hands.

Dear deltanz66

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with the Karratha Midwifery Group Practice.

It’s great to hear how supported you felt after joining the program. Having a familiar midwife who understands your needs and preferences can make a significant difference during pregnancy.

I will make sure your feedback is shared with Sheree, Emer and Laura, along with the broader maternity team. I know they will genuinely appreciate hearing how their care helped make your pregnancy, birth and postnatal experience feel safe and calm.

Thank you again for recognising the team and sharing your story.

Warm regards,

Nhuan Ho
District Director, West Pilbara
