Shared Care Pregnancy

A shared care arrangement refers to a partnership between yourself, a GP and a hospital or other birthing facility. You will have some prenatal appointments with your doctor along with the hospital in the early and late stages of your pregnancy.

In Australia, GPs who offer shared care services are required to undertake specialised training and qualifications as well as agreements with hospitals.

An advantage of shared care is that you can receive your prenatal and postnatal care from a GP who knows your family history and is near your home or workplace! It’s a convenient and comfortable option with a familiar and highly trained specialist.
