With shared care, your GP at Health Hub Hobsons Bay and a hospital maternity team look after your pregnancy together. You see your own GP for most of your check-ups, which gives you continuity of care from before conception to after your baby is born.

Is shared care right for me?

Shared care is usually offered if your pregnancy is considered low risk and you have no health conditions the hospital needs to monitor closely. If the hospital considers your pregnancy higher risk, your care will be managed by the hospital team. The hospital decides your eligibility.


How shared care works at Health Hub Hobsons Bay

  • Confirm your pregnancy.  See your GP after a positive pregnancy test.
  • Early tests. Your GP arranges initial blood tests and any early-pregnancy scans.
  • Hospital referral. We refer you to the hospital of your choice. 
  • Around 15 weeks: an appointment with a hospital midwife or obstetrician to decide whether shared care is suitable.
  • From about 20 weeks: GP visits start, usually every four weeks.
  • After 30 weeks: visits are usually every two weeks.
