BiOC South Hub

What is offered at BiOC South?

Our South hub is supported by an Indigenous workforce strategy and is based out of a culturally safe and welcoming Aboriginal community controlled community-based hub. The BiOC service is designed for our Indigenous families to access the deadly program with access to:

• a dedicated midwifery team where a known midwife will birth bub
• a dedicated family support worker and transportation for your appointments if transport is needed
• a social worker and psychologist to support you and your social and emotional wellbeing
• cultural connection through community days, playgroup, belly casting, NAIDOC and many other significant events.

How can community connect with BiOC Salisbury?

To access BiOC South, have your GP send your referral to Mater Mothers’ Hospital stating it’s a BiOC Referral. This is the hospital where you will birth your baby with your known midwife.

Once our family support practitioner connects with you, you will be welcomed into the hub to meet our deadly team, who will guide you through your pregnancy journey.

Every step of the way I was supported medically, emotionally, and mentally. They even took me to my appointments. It felt like a family.
