pregnancy, birth and post-partum Directory

Wollongong, Nowra, Shellharbour and surrounds is rich in services for families who are planning pregnancy, birth and post-partum. Below we have compiled a list of private services including doulas, midwives, psychologists, pelvic floor physios and more. Head to our Blog to find out more about Childbirth classes in Wollongong and surrounds and Doulas in Wollongong and surrounds.

This directory is a community service, created and maintained by volunteers. We do not receive payment for listings, nor do we endorse the services featured here. It’s the most comprehensive directory for the Illawarra and Shoalhaven, and we don’t charge businesses to be included.

If you notice a missing service or would like yours added, please get in touch — we’d love to hear from you. Please understand this takes time and it can sometimes take up to two weeks to get to!

As a volunteer-run organisation, we rely on donations to keep resources like this free and accessible. If this directory has helped you, please consider donating — even $5 makes a difference and goes straight back into community initiatives.
