The Possums Clinic offers group sessions for mothers and babies F2F, at the South Brisbane Sailing Club, 68 Hill End Terrace, West End from Monday 9-11 am (for babies 4 - 12 months) and 9 - 11 am every Friday (for babies 0 - 16 weeks). Book in now by phoning 07 3188 7915!

You may book into as many of our group sessions, or Shared Medical Appointments (SMAs) as you need, with no out-of-pocket expenses if you and baby are registered with Medicare. Dr Pamela Douglas and Alanda Vincent will run Mondays 9am - 11am (4-12 months), and Dr Pamela Douglas and Dr Claire Morrow on Fridays 9am - 11am (0-16 weeks). Any mother and her baby is welcome at either session provided they have seen an NDC Practitioner either at our clinic in Brisbane or via online consultation. 

If your baby is not yet Medicare registered, it's $50 up front - but you will be able to claim most of that back when the baby is registered.
