About this service
The Volunteer Doula Program (VDP) has been in existence since 1996 with the vision of providing a doula for every person who wants one. The VDP has supported thousands of individuals during their pregnancy and trained over 500 doulas.
A Doula is a person from the community who is trained to give continuous support throughout labour and delivery, as well as in the weeks before and after birth. A volunteer doula wont replace friends and family. A doulas role is to help you make informed decisions during pregnancy, birth and post-partum. They can help you to explore the risks and benefits of different types of pain medications and interventions and support you fully in your choices.
