A continuity of care model, explained

Complete Midwifery Care is full continuity of care with one known midwife throughout pregnancy, birth, and the early weeks after your baby arrives.

This model of care is for women who are planning a homebirth, or who feel hospital is the safest place for them and want their birth approached with respect for physiology, informed choice, and steady support.

I work with a limited caseload each year so that care can remain unhurried, relational, and deeply attentive. This is a premium, one to one model built around trust, presence, and continuity.

If you are seeking care that honours both safety and sovereignty, this page will help you understand whether this offering is the right fit.

This model of care is often a good fit if you:

  • Are seeking continuity with one known midwife

  • Are planning a homebirth, or a physiological hospital birth

  • Want your care grounded in evidence, not routine intervention

  • Value shared decision making and informed consent

  • Want advocacy and steadiness if plans change

  • Are looking for care that spans pregnancy, birth, and the postnatal period

This model is designed around continuity and an on-call relationship.

If you are looking for one off or targeted support, or prefer an exclusively obstetric led approach, another model of care may suit you better.

In that case, you may wish to explore Clinical Care, which offers structured appointments for decision making, preparation, and postnatal support without an on-call component.

If you are unsure, this is something we can explore via conversation - email me at hello@jenniferhazi.com.au

Birth settings & continuity of care

With private midwifery care, you have flexibility in where and how your baby is born, held within a continuous relationship.

Homebirth

You are supported in your own space by myself and a trusted second midwife. Care is calm, attentive, and grounded in safety, experience, and respect for physiology.

Hospital birth

I attend as your known midwife and care provider. I hold visiting access at the Royal Hospital for Women in Randwick. Care focuses on continuity, advocacy, and protecting the conditions that support normal birth within the hospital setting.

Planned flexibility

Some women plan a homebirth and later decide hospital feels right. Others plan hospital birth and want to labour at home for as long as possible. If transfer is needed, I remain with you, providing continuity and advocacy throughout.

Your care adapts to your needs and your choices, not the other way around

Why continuity of care matters

Research consistently shows that women cared for by a known midwife are more likely to experience normal birth, establish breastfeeding, and feel satisfied with their care.

Beyond outcomes, continuity changes how birth feels.

You do not need to repeat your story. You do not need to wonder who will walk into the room. You are met by someone who already knows you.

Continuity allows trust to build over time. It creates space for honest conversations, thoughtful planning, and calm decision making when things are uncertain. It means you are not navigating pregnancy or birth alone, even if the path changes.

Complete Midwifery Care is not currently available. Sign up to hear when it next opens.

Antenatal and Postnatal Continuity are available (without birth attendance). See Clinical Care

If care becomes complex.

Pregnancy and birth do not always follow a straight line. Sometimes additional medical input is needed.

If this happens, I remain your lead midwife. I continue to provide continuity, advocacy, and emotional presence, while integrating specialist or obstetric care where appropriate.

You will not be left to navigate systems on your own. Whether your journey is straightforward or complex, you are held within a relationship that does not disappear when things become challenging.

What is not included

To keep things clear, the following sit outside my midwifery fee:

  • Blood tests, ultrasounds, and specialist consultations, usually Medicare rebated

  • Medications dispensed by pharmacies

  • Optional birth supplies such as pool liners or hoses

  • Travel outside my service area, where a small additional fee may apply

  • Additional medical or complementary therapies if required

These costs are discussed openly and early.

About Jennifer

Jennifer Hazi, private midwife, smiling warmly in front of a colourful artwork

I am a Registered & Endorsed Midwife with seventeen years of experience supporting women through pregnancy, birth, and early motherhood.

My work is grounded in evidence, respect for physiology, and the understanding that birth is both a clinical event and a profound human threshold.

I listen carefully, advocate clearly, and pay close attention to the details that matter.

I practise from The Gathering Space in Paddington, supporting families across Sydney's Eastern Suburbs, and offer homebirth care in the Lower Blue Mountains near Springwood.

Alongside clinical midwifery, I hold women's circle work and shamanic women-craft for those who want to meet pregnancy, Womens cycles and birth as a rite of passage.
