Why do I need a
Doula?
Doulas are for everyone! From home births to elective caesareans and everything in between, a Doula respects your choice and will walk the path with you.
A Doula’s time is dedicated to you… you can decide when you need it. A prenatal and birthing Doula can be engaged at any time during pregnancy. A post-natal Doula can be engaged before or after delivery.
A Doula will support your birth, be it at home with your home birthing specialist, or at hospital with your medical team.
Although Australia does not currently have a governing body or accreditation process for Doulas, high quality training is offered through many Doula training academies. Search the Doula Directory and review profiles for more information on individual Doulas’ training and experience.
Doulas and midwives are complementary members of your birthing team. A trained Doula physically and practically supports all aspects of your wellbeing, and can contribute to the needs of your home and family. A midwife is a medically trained healthcare provider focusing on pregnancy, labour and birth.
