“We thank Dr Marion Magee for her amazing antenatal care and the safe delivery of our baby.
“The wonderful midwives - Mary-Clair, Beth, Liz, Mai, Cath, Glenda, Narelle and Rachel - have provided us with kind, nurturing and compassionate care, especially over the three days we stayed in hospital, and invaluable education, especially for breastfeeding.
“Child and Family Health Services - so far we’ve dealt with Renee and Jess - have also been vital in educating and building confidence as new parents and made us feel so safe in their care.”
