Wellington Health Service manager Sally Loughnan has announced midwife Natalie McLean is working in the community two days a week.

"Natalie's appointment has allowed us to reintroduce this service locally for women in Wellington and our surrounding communities," Ms Loughnan said.

The manager said Ms McLean would support women throughout their pregnancies, help them book into hospital, usually at Dubbo, and provide care following the birth of their babies.

"Providing these services in Wellington reduces the needs for mothers, families and babies to travel," she said.

The western NSW Local Health District reports that Ms McLean "works in partnership" with the antenatal clinic at Dubbo Health Service, which allows for "all women within these communities to have all or part of their care through the midwife, increasing the options available to them".

Ms McLean can be contacted by calling Wellington Community Health on 68455500.
