    This is no help for Lisa but ...

    Teachers Federation Health (for all those teachers out there) offers 100% cover for midwifes & homebirths. They also cover antenatal care, birth classes, lactation consultants, a nappy service & home nursing

    It doesn't get much better than that!

    I swapped from MediBank Private for the very reason they offered absolutely nothing for birthing naturally.

    I was going to add the same thing. It's for partners and family members of teachers too. So if your hubby's a teacher, you can join.

    They actually cover $1500 for homebirth now, not 100%. But $1500 is better than nothing, hey!

    Peoplecare cover up to 80% of the first $1100 for a midwife for homebirth. But if you have to transfer to hospital they will not cover the hospital.
    Its one or the other.
    Not much I know but its kind of better than nothing.
