Nanna Bill’s Mums & Bubs Program

The Manngoor Dja Nanna Bill’s Mums & Bubs Program is a pregnancy and postnatal program that enables Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and/or babies to access antenatal and postnatal care from a known Manngoor Dja midwife & GP with support from an Aboriginal Health Practitioner.

Care is provided throughout pregnancy and up to six weeks postnatally with a midwife in conjunction with the hospital. Additional support is then provided by a child health nurse when a child is 6 weeks to 2 years.

We’re here to offer personalised care that supports families every step of the way – helping mothers, babies and families thrive!

  • Postnatal care
  • Home visits
  • Contraception
  • Sexual Health
  • Breastfeeding support
