Private
Pregnancy Care
The JOGG Midwives Private program is exclusive to those women delivering at Joondalup Private Hospital. As part of this program, your JOGG midwives will support you throughout your transition into parenthood. Your midwife will care for you, answer your calls and questions in partnership with your obstetrician, and provide you with support every step of the way. You will see your JOGG Midwife and Obstetrician at standard time points in your pregnancy. The relationship you build with your midwife is fluid and constant over your pregnancy and early newborn days. The JOGG Midwives (private) program is centered on making sure you receive the support and expertise you need from the moment you choose to have your baby with us through to those first few weeks after your baby is born.
After Birth Care
Once you have been discharged from the hospital your care will continue with an additional 6 weeks of postnatal care. Your midwife will provide you with the support and education you may need during your transition to parenthood. You will have your 6 week appointment with your obstetrician.

Midwives are qualified medical professionals who are trained to provide you with the full range of maternity care In Australia, registered midwives have either completed a bachelor degree course specifically in midwifery, or are registered nurses who have done postgraduate study to become midwives. Midwives are trained to care for you through pregnancy, labour and birth. Your midwife will guide and support you through your pregnancy with a series of appointments tailored for your needs and safety. Your appointments with your midwife at JOGG will include all of your blood work, scans and education necessary for a healthy pregnancy as well as preparation for your birth.

Laura Millar
Registered (Endorsed) Midwife
My name is Amy Bowlin, I'm an Endorsed midwife, Registered nurse/ midwife and Mum of two boys based in Joondalup, WA. I aim to provide individualized maternity care and believe that maternity care should never be a “one sized fits all” approach as every family and pregnancy is different and this should be respected as a health care professional. Completing my nursing degree in 2011 I went on to specialise in fertility nursing/ theatre work providing support and guidance to women and their partners requiring additional intervention to fall pregnant successfully. Furthering my career goals, I then completed my Midwifery degree in 2015 and have worked in both private and tertiary hospital settings providing pregnancy, labour/birth and postnatal care. I have a passion for providing mental health support in the perinatal period, providing a holistic approach that supports both your physical and emotional well-being. It is my goal that no matter what your journey brings, you will feel respected and empowered throughout and that you will walk into motherhood feeling confident and supported with my guidance every step of the way. My aim is to reduce the negative stigma around perinatal mental health and normalise this by guiding parents and their infants to have strong and healthy connections, offering a safe and supportive space to do so. I am very passionate in advocating for women and providing them with relevant evidence based information so that they feel empowered and can make informed decisions. I look forward to being part of your journey and supporting you through this exciting time in your lives.
Amy Bowlin
Registered (Endorsed) Midwife
I’m Amy, a Registered and Endorsed Midwife with 12 years of nursing experience and 8 years working as a midwife in hospital settings across Western Australia. Over the years, I’ve supported women and families through pregnancy, labour, birth and postpartum, and I’ve seen firsthand how powerful respectful, informed and individualised care can be. Ive made the move into private practice to offer a more holistic, calm and woman-centred approach to maternity care—one that honours your choices, supports your wellbeing, and empowers you to feel confident throughout your journey. I bring clinical experience, up-to-date evidence and a deep belief in the importance of emotional support & guidance. Whether you’re seeking education, continuity of care, or guidance through pregnancy and birth, my goal is to provide a safe, nurturing space where you feel heard, respected and supported every step of the way.
Amy Mitchell
Registered (Endorsed) Midwife
I had the privilege of growing up in a medical home learning the virtues of service from the cradle as they say. I convinced my father to let me see a caesarean delivery at 7 and I guess the rest was history. In medical school I briefly toyed with the idea of doing internal medicine but after exposure to maternity and gynaecology I knew I couldn’t really do anything else and feel fulfilled. There was just something about the amazing privilege of helping to safely bring a new live/lives into the world and the care afterwards that I knew I had to be a part of.

WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF SEEING A MIDWIFE?
Studies have shown many benefits associated with midwifery led care. Continuity of care is well known for higher satisfaction of maternity care, less likely to have an induction of labour, pharmacological pain relief (if that's what you want) and far more likely to achieve a vaginal birth.

MY HEALTH INSURANCE IS FOR AN OBSTETRICIAN, WHY WOULD I SEE A MIDWIFE?
Traditionally you either have midwifery care or obstetric care. The JOGG Midwifery Led Care program recognizes the importance of both professions, providing collaborative care for women and their families.
While obstetricians and midwives provide care for pregnancy and childbirth, midwives focus on providing personalized, holistic care that emphasizes natural childbirth and individualized support for the whole family.
Your obstetrician will be there at your delivery.
Midwives are the guardians of normal! Obstetricians are the ones we turn to if your pregnancy navigates outside of normal. This unique pathway focuses on the importance of continuity of care during pregnancy.

Words from Our Midwives
In “What Every Woman Should Know About Labour and Birth,” featured on “Words from Our Midwives” at Joggmidwives.com.au, Midwife Laura Millar addresses common misconceptions shaped by stories, media, and late-night searching. She normalises longer labours-particularly for first births-and explains that fluctuating early labour often reflects the body preparing effectively. The key message is empowerment: with understanding, reassurance, and the right support team, women can navigate even the most challenging moments and approach birth feeling calmer, stronger, and more prepared.

Thank you for being so kind and caring towards myself and Madeline during our stay at Joondalup. Madeline is now 12 weeks old and I'm still breastfeeding her. Thank you for all of your help.
Chantel & Madeline
Thank you doesn't even begin to cover how grateful we are to you. You spent your entire shift with us. You got me through the epidural at 7 centimetres of changing positions every 30 minutes to try and get my are in the right position. At first time parents we had no idea what we were doing and after a horrible night with the induction you came in like a breath of fresh air. He shared stories with us and explained everything so calmly. We really felt like we had a friend in the room with us and it made things a little less terrifying. You promised to check in on me on the next day and stuck to your word. A familiar face to comfort us after a scary dash for a C-section and our first night as parents. I'm sure you have many grateful patients. And more exciting memory, same as, but we will truly never forget you.
