Why Attend Juno Post Natal
& Breastfeeding Day Stay

We know early, comprehensive, compassionate care leads to better outcomes.

We know breastfeeding is a learned skill that requires focused care, encouragement and support.

We know feeding and caring for an infant is a big learning curve. Whatever your choice, whatever you are experiencing, whatever you need, we are here for it.

Instead of an appointment, come for the day - you’ll be tended to and supported across feeds and in between - breast, bottle, mixed - no judgement, just support.

The Cost of Juno Post Natal & Breastfeeding Day Stay Explained

We want to provide you with clarity to allow for planning and decision making.

Firstly, we need to determine if you’ve reached the Extended Medicare Safety Net (EMSN) for the year.

If you’re like me. Your eyes just glazed over.

But it’s important. Reaching EMSN dramatically reduces out-of-pocket costs.

If you’ve undergone IVF or paid for a private Obstetrician in this calendar year, you’ll likely be eligible.

You can check if you’ve reached your Safety Net in the Medicare App (Menu - Safety Net - scroll down to green bar).

How EMSN works: Once you spend a certain amount (out-of-pocket) in a calendar year on services that attract a Medicare rebate, you become eligible for a higher rebate from Medicare. This includes all family members on the same Medicare Card (you need to be registered for Medicare Safety Net family). Eligibility criteria here

Once you reach EMSN you’ll get back up to 80% of the total fee.

Total Cost for Breastfeeding Day Stay: $1650*

If you’ve met the EMSN - Total out-of-pocket Cost : $262

If you haven’t met EMSN, Total out-of-pocket Cost : $1138.20 (with standard Medicare rebate)

*Fee applies to one mum and baby. It is different for twins, please contact our reception team for more information.

If you haven’t yet met EMSN, your Medicare App will tell you how far away from it you are. Ensure you’re registered for ‘Medicare Safety Net family’, and that all family members are listed so everyones medical expenses are included.

If you attend the Breastfeeding Day Stay before reaching EMSN, this will bring you closer to reaching EMSN. Which again, once reached, means all your / your families medicare-rebatable appointments and services for the rest of the year - at Juno and elsewhere - will be heavily subsidised.

If you’ve reached the EMSN, you’re able to receive 7 hours of high quality care and support for less than the cost of a single appointment.

After Your Day Stay

After your 7 hour stay, you’ll feel clarity around the direction and intention of your feeding path.

You’ll feel listened to, well fed, held and cared for. You’ll be clearer and stronger and ready for the unfolding days of learning life with your little.

You’re very welcome to return as often as you like.

As always, we’re here for you and happy to help.
