Launceston Birth Centre

Giving birth is one of the most miraculous and transforming events in your life. You will never forget it.

Our birth house is your home away from home. The Birth Centre has created a warm and inviting environment for you, your family and your chosen endorsed midwife to make your birth your own. Situated across the road from the Launceston General Hospital, each suite has been designed with your privacy in mind.
