Frequently Asked Questions

Can I claim a rebate through my private health fund?

While group antenatal education classes are not eligible for Medicare rebates, Before We Meet is a recognised provider with a number of major private health funds. Depending on your level of extras cover and the benefits offered by your health fund, you will likely be eligible to claim a rebate towards the cost of your class.

We provide invoices that meet the individual requirements of participating health funds to help make your claim. Rebates vary between health funds and policies.

Where are the classes held?

Our classes are held in the Bond Building, Suite 4.12/8 Elizabeth Macarthur Drive, Bella Vista, 2153, NSW. This is located across the road from Norwest Private Hospital. We offer a welcoming and comfortable space for you to learn, ask questions and prepare for your birth experience.

Can I bring my partner or support person?

Absolutely! We encourage you to bring one support person along to the class. Whether it's your partner, a family member or someone else you'd like by your side.

Can I bring my other children to class?

We understand that preparing for a new baby is a family experience. However, to ensure a comfortable learning environment and enough space for all participants, we're unfortunately unable to accommodate children at our group classes. We appreciate your understanding.

When should I attend an antenatal class?

Many expectant parents choose to attend antenatal education during the third trimester, often around 28-36 weeks of pregnancy. However, the ideal time can vary depending on your individual preferences. We recommend booking ahead to secure your preferred date.

What will we cover during the class?

Our four-hour and midwife-led classes cover a range of topics to help you prepare for birth and the early newborn period. Topics include recognising the signs of labour, the stages of birth, pain relief options, vaginal and caesarean section births, what to expect after birth and newborn behaviours.

Do I need to bring anything?

We'll guide you through the session and provide the information you need. It is not required, but feel free to bring a notebook and pen, or use your phone to take down notes.
