Introducing
the Bupa Hatch Private
Maternity Experience

Offering you more value from your health cover

To help you get greater value from your health cover, we've established an exciting partnership with Hatch Private Maternity in South Brisbane.

As a Bupa customer, you may be able to enjoy quality private maternity care delivered by Hatch obstetricians and midwives at a lower cost*.

What this means is that if you're eligible^, and you choose to participate, you won't have to pay for your antenatal and postnatal visits to the Hatch Private Maternity clinic, your pregnancy management fee, or the delivery of your baby by a Hatch obstetrician.

We recommend that you contact Hatch Private Maternity about any other fees that you might incur during and after the delivery of your baby.

Eligible customers must be pregnant and register with Hatch Private Maternity before 30 September 2022 to take advantage of this offer.

About Hatch Private Maternity

Hatch Private Maternity is committed to providing you with private pregnancy care – caring for you throughout your pregnancy, the birth and once your baby has arrived. During your pregnancy, you will be cared for by a team of midwives and obstetricians. Hatch Private Maternity cannot promise that your appointments and delivery will be with the same clinician, but through their collaborative approach they trust you will feel at home with every member of their team.


About the hospital

When it’s time for you to have your baby, your delivery will be at the Mater Mothers’ Private Hospital with one of Hatch’s experienced obstetricians. Mater Mothers’ Private Hospital is located on Raymond Terrace in South Brisbane. This is Queensland’s largest private maternity and newborn facility providing mother and baby care.

How does it work?

1. Check you’re covered for pregnancy

To be covered to have a baby privately, you'll need to have held hospital cover that includes pregnancy, and have served your 12 month pregnancy waiting period. Contact Bupa on 134 135 to check your cover and any pregnancy waiting periods.

2. Book your first appointment with Hatch

At this appointment, you'll learn more about the Hatch Private Maternity model of pregnancy care. A midwife will review your personal circumstances^ to determine your eligibility. To book your first appointment, call Hatch Private Maternity on 07 3332 1950.
Please note that this offer ends on 30 September 2022. Eligible customers must be pregnant and register with Hatch Private Maternity before this date.

3. Attend your antenatal visits at Hatch

Your next appointment will usually be with one of the Hatch obstetricians. The midwives, in conjunction with the obstetricians, will then look after you throughout your pregnancy.

4. Give birth at the Mater Mothers’ Private Hospital

When it’s time to have your baby, your delivery will be at the Mater Mothers’ Private Hospital with one of Hatch’s obstetricians. Access to paediatricians, anaesthetists, pathology and radiology are all available at Mater Mothers’ Private Hospital. Please see “What’s covered?” below for more information.
