Maternity Care and Support

CRVMC has a long and proud association with obstetric care in Collie. At present, we have two doctors providing obstetric services including labour and hospital-based care.

Dr Peter Wutchak has been practicing obstetrics in the area for over 20 years and he is also anaesthetically trained which allows him to provide epidural based pain relief options.

Dr Jeff Kallawk has over 5 years of obstetric experience and is trained in performing Caesarean sections.

Both Dr Wutchak and Dr Kallawk are able to provide antenatal care and obstetric management to low risk patients. As our patient, you will be able to discuss your labour options, including normal vaginal deliveries and caesarean sections.

Collie is a part of the South West health system and we have a strong association with Bunbury based specialist obstetricians. We are a low to low-medium level care service. All medium to high risk cases will need to be managed through the Bunbury high risk clinic.

For further enquiries in regard to obstetric care, please contact us on 9734 4111.
