Hi Kate, The Wodonga Hospital is the only hospital having births at Albury/Wodonga. I'm not sure what models of care are available, but I think there is a midwive's clinic. There certainly seems to be a very high intervention rate though! Wangaratta has a Community Midwifery Program, which is very good but you have to book very early as they have a limit of numbers per month. It is a very popular program and the woman meets all of the team during the course of her pregnancy and has whoever is on call for the birth. There are also 2 or 3 independant midwives in the Wangaratta/Wodonga area that I know of. Hope this helps your friend. Joy

She's asking me questions about what her care options are, and I have no idea what's on offer there. Can anyone give me a quick rundown on maternity care in the A/W region? Thanks Kate
