Representing New Zealand’s Midwives

This message, and the one posted on the MMPO Facebook page were intended as both celebration of NZCOM’s success in lobbying the Ministry to pay out the business contribution payment before Christmas, and of the work done by MMPO to ensure the money was received by midwives as soon as practically possible from their end.

I just want to say a huge thank you to NZCOM for getting this payment for us again (regardless of whom we claim with which is irrelevant) and for getting it 3 months earlier than originally stated. Merry Christmas to all involved x

Thanks NZCOM! And Merry Christmas to us midwives... regardless of how you claim.. it seems we've all been paid.. isnt that fabulous!

FYI - any midwives claiming with MAMA INC have also been paid 🙂

Regardless of third party provider if you have put the paperwork in you should receive payment today. I’m with expect and love it. Happy Christmas everyone.

What about us not with MMPO? Feels like we get penalised for not using the NZCOM recommend program

Thank you Nzcom and Mmpo for your work I know a lot goes on behind the scenes not everyone is aware of, 🎄🎄🎄I’m grateful we got it( I didn’t qualify last year ) bonus that it was delivered 3 months ahead of initial plan,

I have received payment and I am with EXPECT 🤗

I just got paid. I’m with expect 👏

This is a particularly petty and significantly unprofessional dig at midwives who chose to use other claiming avenues. This is the NZCOM page... many of your members (who you claim “are the college”) chose to use other claiming options. MMPO should have their own separate channels to advertise this “claim” NZCOM is not MMPO and many of its members chose not to be members of MMPO. Cut the apron strings, MMPO is a business it needs to stand on its own.

Thank you NZCOM

C’mon NZCOM - stop penalising us midwives that choose to use a different provider!

Thank you for your hard work and endless fighting on our behalf NZCOM. Merry Christmas.

So awesome to get this before Xmas - thanks MMPO!!!

Expect clients have been paid as well. This has nothing to do with NZCOM!

This is the college saying that MMPO has paid out. Not saying if you are with expect you are not entitled to the payment

Yesssss. Mine just came through! Expect

many thanks

Why so much less than for Doctors?

When will it be paid to ya not using MMPO?

Yay!

What about non MMPO? Pay equality??!!!??

Oh, come on ladies! This is NOT a dig at Expect users! If you claim with MMPO, your money comes THROUGH them to get to you. If you claim via Expect your money comes directly from MoH. MMPO and/or NZCOM are not capable of penalising Expect users, as some of you are accusing them. Some banks use more modern (faster) technology than others. Change banks.
