Your local lactation consultant, here in Moggill.
Moggill is where the clinic is. Twenty-two kilometres from the Brisbane CBD, wrapped by the river on three sides, former pineapple country subdivided into a mix of small blocks and acreage, and home to around five thousand people. There is a primary school on Moggill Road and a cable ferry. There is no high school, no library branch and no shopping centre of any scale.
That geography is most of the reason I set up here. If you live in Moggill, every appointment is a drive — the obstetrician, the paediatrician, the six-week check, the lactation consultant who works from a clinic in town. With a two-week-old, that is a genuinely large ask, and it is exactly why people put off getting help until the pain is bad.
I'm Sara, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), and my home clinic is here. For you, it is minutes away rather than an expedition. I also come to you, if leaving the house is more than you can manage this week.
Being the local.
The Moggill Ferry is how people here measure distance. It's a tolled cable ferry across the river to Riverview, free if you're on foot or a bike, and it means Moggill families sit oddly between two cities — birthing at The Wesley or the Mater in one direction and Ipswich Hospital in the other, and often unsure afterwards which system is meant to follow them up. If you're not sure either, bring whatever paperwork you have and we'll work it out together.
Moggill children go to Moggill State School and then out to Kenmore for high school, so if you already have older ones, your day has two long drives in it before anyone has fed. When I'm building a feeding plan with a Moggill family, that goes into the plan — pumping rhythms and feed timings that survive a school run, rather than ones that quietly assume you're home all day.
The clinic itself is a quiet room with off-street parking, designed to feel nothing like a medical office. You can feed there, cry there, and take as long as you need to. The full address comes through with your booking confirmation.
You're already here.
Moggill is the one suburb where the honest answer is usually: come to me. The clinic is minutes away, there's parking at the door, and because the travel fee is calculated by distance, a Moggill home visit is as low as it goes — often not worth paying at all when the drive is this short.
That said, if you had a caesarean three days ago, or the house is the only place your baby will settle, or you simply cannot face getting dressed, I will come. There is no version of this where you have to earn the help by leaving the house first.
Questions from Moggill families
Where is the Moggill clinic, and is there parking?
It's a home clinic here in Moggill 4070, with off-street parking right at the door so you're not carrying a capsule any distance. The full address comes through with your booking confirmation, along with everything you need to prepare. If you'd like directions before then, or you're running late because getting out of the house with a baby is what it is, call 0450 188 411.
I live in Moggill. Is a home visit worth the travel fee?
Usually not, and I'd rather say so. The clinic is minutes from you, the room is quiet, and the fee for a Moggill home visit is as small as it gets — but it's still a fee for a drive you could easily skip. Where a home visit does earn its keep is when the problem only happens at home: a settling pattern, a pump setup, a chair that's part of the latch problem. If that sounds like you, book the visit.
I'm on the other side of the Moggill ferry. Do you cover Ipswich?
Yes. Ipswich is part of my service area, and that side of the river is included in it. The travel fee is worked out by distance rather than by which crossing you use, so call 0450 188 411 and I'll give you the figure before you book. For the newer estates further out, ring first and we'll decide together whether a home visit or a Telehealth consult makes better sense.
How soon after birth should I book?
Sooner than most people do. If feeding hurts, if your baby isn't gaining, or if something simply feels off, the earlier we adjust the latch or the plan, the gentler the path forward. The first six weeks are the steepest — your supply is still calibrating, your baby is still learning, and you are recovering — so there is no need to wait until you've earned help by struggling long enough. If you're pregnant and reading this, an antenatal consult at 60 minutes and $160 is a very good use of the third trimester.
Just down the road.
Book a time at the clinic or ask Sara to come to you. Every consult ends with the plan written down, any referrals you need, and a way to reach her by text or email afterwards.
