A better start to life for children of diverse families in Logan

We are proud to partner with Metro South Health to deliver a community-based antenatal service for eligible newly arrived, refugee, and migrant women living in Logan.

The service is facilitated from the SSI Gateway and aims to improve birthing outcomes for babies born in Logan. Evidence shows that a woman who receives care from a Midwife throughout the duration of pregnancy and birth is more likely to have a normal birth of a healthy baby at term, have a more positive experience of labour and birth, be more satisfied with her care, and successfully breastfeed.  

We work closely with Midwives to provide wrap-around support to women and families by linking them with internal and external services for housing, employment, health and financial well-being support.
