The Shire Birth & Baby Showcase
A warm, local day out for pregnancy, birth & early parenting
We created this free Sutherland Shire event to make it easier to meet trusted local doctors, midwives, doulas, health professionals and baby brands—face-to-face, in one place.
What the Showcase is all about
The Shire Birth & Baby Showcase brings together local services, support and products for every stage—pregnancy, birth, postpartum and the early months with baby.
Why we started it
Connection makes everything feel more manageable
When you can meet providers in person, ask questions and get a feel for who you trust, the next steps become clearer—and less overwhelming.
What you’ll find at the showcase
A practical, family-friendly expo experience
Drop in for a browse or plan a full day—there’s plenty to explore, plus little extras to make it fun for families.
Who it’s for
Expecting parents, new families & local providers
Whether you’re newly pregnant, preparing for birth, or navigating the early weeks, you’ll find support, services and products tailored to local families.
Why local families come along
Built by locals, for locals
The Shire Birth & Baby Showcase was created by Shire Midwifery to help families in the Sutherland Shire feel supported and informed—without having to search endlessly online or travel far to find the right help.
We’re proud to be supported by local sponsors including CORA Women’s Health Consulting Suites, Elle TENS, Shire Women’s Imaging and Baby & Car—and by the many small businesses and practitioners who show up for Shire families.
We know that pregnancy and early parenting can bring a mix of excitement and uncertainty. This event is designed to be a calm, welcoming space where you can meet people, ask real questions, and leave with practical next steps—whether that’s choosing a care provider, finding a class, or discovering products that genuinely make life easier.
A single conversation can change how confident you feel about what comes next.
