St.LukesHealth Private Post-Natal Service

At St.LukesHealth we offer a choice for post-natal care in Tasmania’s North and North West. We are proud to make available to our members a personalised private post-natal service that allows mothers and families with the opportunity to rest and care for their baby while being supported by midwives and lactation consultants.

This service is available for St.LukesHealth members who deliver at the Launceston General Hospital or North West Regional Hospital and do not have access to a private hospital for post-natal services. North-West members can access the private post-natal service from November 1, 2023.
 
Whether your preference is to care for your new baby in a hotel setting, or at home, we have a service and a support package to suit. Each option includes a complimentary pamper package for the new mum plus plenty more. See below for a full list of what’s included.

To register for this service, call us on 1300 651 988.

Once you have registered, a St.LukesHealth Care Coordinator will contact you to discuss your pregnancy journey, St.LukesHealth resources, and answer any questions you may have in regard to this service.
