Frances Perry House conducts childbirth education and early parenting classes. Information about how to book in is provided by Frances Perry House when you receive your hospital registration paperwork. Fees for private classes are usually covered by your health fund although there may be some out of pocket expense.
Antenatal classes are an excellent way to prepare for labour, delivery, breast feeding and early parenting and are therefore strongly encouraged. Several of these classes are available as an online program which may be more convenient.
Frances Perry Hospital tours are also available.
