Welcome to MAMA Midwifery Practice
We are Victoria’s first private midwifery practice, privileged to be caring holistically for families since 2011. We now have three clinics serving the community in Kensington, Hampton and Gippsland. Our midwives support you to receive continuity of midwifery care with the person that you feel most aligned with.
If you are looking for loving care & clinical expertise, we’re here for you from early pregnancy, as you birth your baby at home or in hospital and up to 8 weeks postnatally.

Meet Your Midwives
The Heart of MAMA - Meet Our Clients
Every birth is unique, and each story reflects the strength, love, and support at the heart of MAMA care. Explore real journeys from families we’ve walked beside.
Discover Your Options
We know that choosing a care model & provider are big decisions and that talking to somebody knowledgeable can be invaluable. We also know that these choices can have large impacts on women’s experiences & outcomes. As midwives, we care deeply about this - so we have created the discovery visit! Our bulk billed discovery visit gives you the opportunity to meet with an experienced midwife for 40minutes to discuss maternity care options, learn about us, and truly ask any questions that matter to you.
The perfect first step with MAMA for everybody, including those who are simply gathering information about their options or those who are ready to take the first step in beginning their ongoing care with us.
