Water Birth Pool Installations in Australian Hospitals
Trusted by maternity facilities across Australia
Active Birth Pools are used in hospitals and maternity units across Australia, helping to create purpose-designed spaces where women can labour and birth in water.
Choosing a birth pool for a hospital is very different from choosing a pool for home use. There are practical considerations around the size and design of the room, access for midwives, infection control, plumbing, cleaning and, importantly, how the pool will work within the everyday needs of a busy maternity unit.
We can help you work through these considerations and choose the Active Birth Pool that best suits your space and service.
