Our midwives provide personalised postnatal care tailored to your family’s unique needs, recognising that every birth and parenting journey is different. We work closely with you to create a plan that aligns with your preferences while supporting your baby’s wellbeing. From newborn care and feeding support to safe sleeping guidance, we help you feel confident, informed, and empowered.
If your hospital has an unstaffed hotel program we are happy to visit you in your hotel room for reassurance, monitoring and advice.
Hi. My name is Tammy Duncan. I am a highly experienced Registered Nurse, Registered Midwife, Maternal and Child Health Nurse and Endorsed Midwife with almost 30 years of practice.
I am passionate about supporting, educating and empowering new parents by helping families confidently navigate the transition home with their newborns. I have worked across many maternity hospitals in Melbourne’s south-eastern suburbs and am highly regarded by the obstetricians and paediatricians I collaborate with.
I am the Founder of Best Beginnings Midwifery, a business whereby a small, dedicated team of skilled midwives, provide expert care through antenatal and parenting classes as well as postnatal in home support, which has been lacking but is desperately needed in the private maternity sector.
In 2027, I will expand Best Beginnings Midwifery to include perinatal counselling, following the completion of my Master of Counselling, addressing the growing need for perinatal mental health and birth trauma support.
We’re here for you every step of the way — calm, compassionate, and only a phone call away. Whether you need overnight support, day visits, or tailored education for feeding and newborn care, Best Beginnings Midwifery brings experienced, evidence-based aftercare into the comfort of your home (or hotel room). Our goal is to help your family rest, heal, and grow with confidence.
Ready to talk about a personalised aftercare plan? Contact us to arrange an initial visit, ask questions, or book ongoing support. Let us help make your transition into parenthood smoother, safer, and more joyful.
