The Non-Directive Pregnancy Support Counselling MBS Items and the Pregnancy, Birth & Baby Helpline support women, their partners and families in making informed decisions about pregnancy-related issues.
- The Pregnancy, Birth & Baby Helpline
The
Pregnancy, Birth & Baby Helpline (Helpline) is an Australia-wide, 24 hour, seven days a week helpline that provides access to information and support for women, their partners and families on pregnancy and the first 12 months of a baby’s life.
