GP Obstetricians
Pioneer Health has a dedicated team of doctors, nurses and receptionists who are committed to your care throughout your pregnancy. Our GP Obstetricians have privileges at Albany Health Campus and are available on-call for our maternity patients*. Our current GP obstetricians are Dr David Tadj, Dr Carly Roxburgh, Dr Yen Lo, Dr Sourabh Joshi and Dr Shani Macaulay. Our team includes clinicians skilled in caesarean section. Should you require an elective, repeat or emergency caesarean section, this service is provided by our Pioneer Health team.
* Our GP Obstetricians attend weekend deliveries on a rotational basis. This means that should you deliver on the weekend, the Pioneer Health GP Obstetrician on roster will attend, i.e. it may not be your GP Obstetrician.

Endorsed Midwife Care
Our Endorsed Midwife (EM) Mel Scott is able to offer a continuity of care plan for low risk women and their families during pregnancy and the post-natal period. She is able to prescribe medications, request ultrasounds and pathology tests that are relevant to your pregnancy. The advantage is to have a main care provider that you see throughout your pregnancy and into your postnatal time. At this stage she does not attend births, but will collaborate with our Pioneer GPO’s so you will have that ongoing support during that time.
