About

Dr Stephen Cole is a highly experienced Obstetrician and Gynaecologist in Melbourne. He has a wide range of expertise, and specialises in maternal-foetal medicine, low to high risk pregnancy care, foetal surgery consultations, multiple pregnancies, recurrent miscarriage evaluation and treatment, and maternally-assisted caesarean section.

Dr Cole prioritises a holistic approach to pregnancy care and understands the importance of partners and families being involved in the process; he strives to make all patients and families feel safe and supported throughout their journey by creating a calm environment and maintaining clear communication.

By carefully limiting his patients, Dr Cole ensures he can spend more time with each patient and be available for nearly all of their needs. This allows him the privilege of being present for approximately 95% of births among women he cares for. In the event that he is unavailable, there are a few highly esteemed obstetricians whom Dr. Cole has arranged to cover for him in those cases. Additionally, Dr. Cole's practice includes a midwife who provides wellness advice, birth planning and breast feeding support along with general guidance to patients - ensuring they always have someone to turn to during their pregnancy journey.

Dr. Cole is a consultant obstetrician at the Royal Women's Hospital, where he is also head of one of the four Obstetric Units and the Multiple Pregnancy Clinic. He has been involved with foetal therapies for over 12 years and is currently the director of Maternal-Foetal Medicine training at the hospital, preparing specialists to care for women with high-risk pregnancies. He is a Fellow of the The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, and is a member of the Victorian Foetal Therapy Service (VFTS).

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”
