Antenatal Clinics

Since the closure of Bentley Health Service (BHS) maternity services in 2020, Armadale Health Service (AHS) and King Edward Memorial Hospital (KEMH) have been taking referrals for maternity patients from BHS catchment postcodes and suburbs.

In December 2024, Bentley opened a Midwifery Birth Centre providing care for select women in the East Metropolitan Health Service area Bentley Health Service - Midwifery Birth Centre. 

At this stage, referrals from BHS postcodes that have been directed to AHS or KEMH since the closure in 2020 will need to continue to be sent to AHS or KEMH and will not be able to receive antenatal care at BHS.

Referrals

For maternity patients from the below catchments, please follow the referral process is outlined on the AHS Antenatal Care page.

  • 6105-6106 catchment (Welshpool, Cloverdale, Kewdale and Perth Airport)
  • 6107 (Cannington, East Cannington, Queens Park and Wilson)
  • 6147 (Lynwood and Parkwood)
Maternity patients from all other BHS postcodes/suburbs need to be referred directly to KEMH. For further information, please see KEMH Antenatal Referrals page.

Bentley Maternity Ward remains closed

Please note: the BHS maternity ward remains closed at this time and women will be directed to other maternity hospitals to receive care if not booked to the Midwifery Birth Centre.
