The Caboolture Hospital Women, Children and Family Services centre located on Leda Boulevard in Morayfield, provides a space for antenatal and post-natal visits for women and their families who opt for a continuity of care model through midwifery group practice.
Robyn, who has 45 years of experience up her sleeve, is a clinical midwife and team leader of one of the midwifery group practices operating out of the centre - 'Midwife & Me', alongside Damara, Starting Well, and lactation consultants who run a clinic two days a week.
"The continuity of care model has proven to be a positive experience for mothers throughout their pregnancy, labour/birth and postpartum period," Robyn said.
"This space is dedicated to the care of women as it's primary role. I love the flexibility it gives us to see mums based on their individual needs, and in a relaxed atmosphere that is easier to access that feels less clinical."
#ShoutoutSaturday 👏 to Robyn on her recent 45 years of service
