✨What a way to end the year.
Last Wednesday marked the official handover of our flagship project - the Matrescence Birthing Centres in Southport, Queensland, a pioneering model of care and the first of its kind in Australia.
From the outset, this project carried a bold ambition: to redefine how women experience birthing and to create a space that supports the full journey of matrescence - identity, confidence, community, and care.
Our visionary client set out to champion a new era of birthing environments and we, the whole team at Perfect Practice, are extremely honoured to have been selected as the design and construction partner, to bring this pioneering facility to life. Delivering an end-to-end D&C solution grounded in clinical excellence, operational precision, and a profoundly human-centred approach.
Every element from flow and safety to colour, comfort, and calm was crafted to elevate the birthing experience and expand community choice.
As Shellandar beautifully shared:
“It’s ready to become a beautiful space for women and offer more community choices for birth.”
This milestone reflected the very best of collaboration, innovation, and our shared purpose.
We extend our gratitude to the entire project team, our network partners and Shellandar for trusting us with such a significant piece of Australia’s healthcare future.
Here’s to more transformative projects that honour women, support families, and raise the standard of healthcare design nationwide.
