About Active Birth Pools Australia

Experience you can trust

Active Birth Pools Australia is part of Birth International, an Australian company that has been supporting midwives, maternity services and birthing families for more than 30 years. We have been supplying birth pools in Australia since 2000 and, in 2017, became the Australian and New Zealand supplier of Active Birth Pools.

For us, it’s not simply about selling a birth pool. We understand birth, we understand the needs of midwives, and we understand that a permanent birth pool is a significant investment for a maternity service.

That’s why we’re here to help from the early planning stages through to choosing the right pool for your space.

Supporting maternity services across Australia and New Zealand

Choosing a pool is only one part of creating a successful water birth space.

Room dimensions, pool position, plumbing, filling and emptying, cleaning, access around the pool and the way the maternity team will use the space all need to be considered.

We can work with maternity services, midwives, architects, designers and project teams to help you consider these details before installation.

Whether you’re planning a new maternity unit, refurbishing an existing birth suite or introducing water birth into your service, we’re happy to talk through your project.
