About us

Teneille established Coffs Coast Midwifery at the start of 2024 and is the sole director.  Teneille has been a Registered Midwife since 2012, a Registered Nurse since 2005 and a University Teacher since 2021.  Teneille is an Endorsed Midwife, which means she has additional qualifications and specific expertise which meets the requirements of the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) to prescribe medicines as well as order pathology and radiology.  Her services also attract a Medicare rebate, meaning Medicare eligible women get a refund from Medicare after paying the scheduled fee.

Teneille has been working within Maternity at the local hospital for many years, as well as educating Bachelor of Midwifery students at the local University, and tutoring student midwives for a QLD University.  She has also acted in various roles within Maternity such as Clinical Midwifery Student facilitator and Clinical Midwifery Educator.  Teneille is a wife as well as a mother of four children, two are at University and two are still school aged. 

With limited options on the Coffs Coast for woman-centred continuity of care, Teneille decided to start her own company to strive to provide quality tailor-made continuity of care for women and their families.  Teneille will visit you in your home at a time to suit you during the antenatal (pregnancy) period, saving you long waits and travel time.  Teneille will also visit you postnatally (after the birth) as often as required up to 6 weeks, to provide you with ongoing support whilst you establish and settle into caring for and feeding your new baby.
