Home Hospital Cover Newborn Support Program

Newborn Support Program

Pregnancy and the birth of a child is one of the most exciting and meaningful times in a family's life, but it can also be one of the most stressful.

Imagine having trained health professionals on-call throughout your pregnancy and up until your child’s first birthday - Health Partners Newborn Support Program provides just that! This program gives you the opportunity to look after the health of both you and your baby, offering advice and support in areas such as pre-eclampsia or high blood pressure during pregnancy, or breastfeeding, sleeping and advice on solids after birth.
 
Receive phone calls and emails from our qualified midwives at specific stages through your pregnancy and post birth, when you are most likely to be experiencing changes or difficulties and need additional information and support. 
 
Program Members can also phone or email our midwives for those unexpected questions. The program provides comprehensive books on pregnancy & birth plus online information and tools.
 
Our Midwives are also trained to:
  • Identify health issues and concerns and ensure they are dealt with adequately and early
  • Provide advice, assistance and encouragement to women who are breastfeeding
  • Identify the signs of post-natal depression
  • Educate parents about healthy lifestyles
  • Work with and refer parents to useful community-based organisations
How can I enrol in the Newborn Support Program?
 
The program is available to all Health Partners members with Gold and Silver Hospital Cover, Australia-wide.
