Belinda is lovely. She was my back up last time and did my postnatal care.

Her fees are on her page mobile midwife, and she is medicare registered. mobilemidwife.com.au/services/

There are birth workers who charge less than 4k, but may not be registered midwives. I don't know who is in your area, but good luck. In this climate, it is often word of mouth where you will find people. Some of the supports SJ listed may be your best option.
