If you’re thinking about hiring a privately practising midwife, this is something to be aware of.
From 2027, new insurance requirements may affect who can provide homebirth and private midwifery care.
Nothing is changing right now, but it may mean:
• fewer midwives available for homebirth
• the need to plan and enquire earlier
If you have any questions about what this might mean for you or your care, please get in touch.
If you’re considering care, now is a good time to start the conversation.
The best way to get in touch is via email.
