Dr Carmel Walsh

Congratulations on your pregnancy! Creating and growing your family is exciting, but it can also be a daunting experience. My small private practice provides bespoke pregnancy care focussed on individuals and shared decision making in a relaxed environment. I believe in creating a positive partnership with families as we navigate your unique journey. The relaxing, purpose built space of The Pregnancy Pod, and the exceptional team who work here, provide the perfect space for us to build our relationship. In addition to my work as a private obstetrician, I work in the Maternal Fetal Medicine team at Monash Health. This means that whilst sometimes pregnancy can have unexpected challenges, you have the confidence in knowing that your care provider has the skills and capability to manage any challenges that may arise. Whilst I am a specialist in high-risk pregnancy care, I aim to provide individualised care for the healthiest of families through to those of the very highest risk. One of my passions is ensuring that families have the very best outcomes during their pregnancy journeys. This has led to a strong focus on advocating for patient safety and enhancing the interacts between families and the healthcare system. My work in this space involves a focus on listening to families, applying cutting edge research, and providing education opportunities for families and healthcare providers. This has resulted in partnerships with both Monash University and Safer Care Victoria with roles in education, advocacy, and policy development. I am also the mother of two incredible teenagers, and when I’m not working, I enjoy finding my roots in nature. I enjoy photography, crafting with yarn, and relishing the sunset over the mountains with my beautiful family. I am very much looking forward to the privilege of being part of the journey for your family.
