Second birthday for the Glen Innes Maternity Group Practice

Guyra mums were among those who enjoyed the celebration
12th May 2026

The 5th of May was International Day of the Midwife and so it was totally fitting that the Glen Innes Maternity Group Practice (MGP) should hold a birthday party marking two years of service to the community.
There was a great turnout of Mums and their little ones. 190 women have used the service since it opened. ANZAC park (Glen Innes) was a terrific venue and morning tea was provided. It was beautiful to see how continuity of care given by the caring midwives, has created a community of women (and their partners) that trust their midwives and are now thriving as parents.
Some Guyra mums made the trip, and speaking to them about their experience of the MGP I would encourage anyone who is pregnant to check it out. It is like having a private midwife but costs nothing, and ‘your’ midwife will visit you in your own home for your appointments.
There is an option to have your baby in Glen Innes or your midwife will travel to Armidale and support you there.
