I am in Vic too and is obviously changes from hospital to hospital.

1) I was offered the choice of GP shared care (shared with midwives), midwife led care, or obstetric care.

2) All hospital checkups are free, but if you choose gp shared care you will have to pay your GP for visits to them, depending on if they are bulk billing or not.

3)Where I am I was only offered a 12 and 20 week scan, either or both can always be declined if you wish. An earlier scan would only be offered if I was bleeding or unsure of my dates.

4) Generally in public hospitals a caesarean is not offered without medical reason due to the higher costs and risks associated with it. However emotional state will be taken into consideration when making this decision and genuine childbirth phobia is usually an indication for a surgical birth.
