Parent education

We are pleased to provide online and face-to-face parent education classes.  These classes are available to parents booked in to have their baby at St John of God Murdoch Hospital.  Bookings are made once you have completed your online admission.

Classes are delivered either on-site in our auditorium or provided by our online platform, Webex, which is a safe, stable online platform used by our St Mary's maternity ward midwives.  All classes cover signs of labour, progress of labour, birth (vaginal and CS) and the immediate postnatal period.

Two breastfeeding classes, as well as an Early Pregnancy class are also available.

By Your Side support series

The By Your Side support series are guiding informational videos by the team at St John of God Murdoch Hospital's St Mary's ward, aimed at educating and creating ease for new parents after the birth of your child. These video are available for parents at any time during your pregnancy and birth journey.

They focus on numerous areas of interest, from how to care for your newborn, to the many support services offered at Murdoch.
