Werribee Mercy Hospital offers public maternity care to women and birthing people that live in Werribee and the surrounding areas.
We offer compassionate, comprehensive care and support for women and birthing people throughout every stage of their maternity journey — from early pregnancy through to labour, birth, and the postnatal period.
Our goal is to provide safe, respectful, and person-centred care that recognises the unique needs, preferences, and experiences of each individual and their family.
During pregnancy, we provide regular antenatal care focused on monitoring the health and wellbeing of both parent and baby. Our team offers guidance, education, and support to help you feel informed and confident as your pregnancy progresses.
We are committed to supporting you through labour and birth in a safe and supportive environment that respects your choices and birth preferences.
Care continues after your baby is born to ensure a smooth transition into early parenthood. We provide ongoing support for recovery, infant care, and adjustment during the postnatal period.
Our care is delivered by a dedicated team of midwives and obstetricians who work in close collaboration with a wide range of allied health professionals, including:
- Physiotherapists
- Social workers
- Dietitians
- Mental health clinicians
- Lactation consultants
This multidisciplinary approach ensures that you receive holistic, coordinated care that supports your physical, emotional, and social wellbeing.
