Admission to hospital If you think you may be in labour and are coming to hospital, please phone ahead to advise the midwives in the Birthing Suites on 07 3394 7328. The main entry point to the Hospital for maternity is via the multistorey car park and along the walkway to the lifts in the Main Foyer. Take the lift to the Maternity Ward on the second floor, turn left out of the lifts and a midwife or clerical person will meet you and escort you down to the Birthing Suites. If you are in strong labour, your partner may park in one of the designated Maternity Emergency Drop Off car spaces, accessed via the Main Entrance to the Hospital via Gate 1 on Newdegate Street. These spaces will be clearly signed. Once parked, please proceed directly to the Maternity Ward per the directions above. As these spaces are for short term parking only, your car will need to be moved to the multistorey car park once you are settled in the Birthing Suites. Please refer to the map on the inside back cover. If you are booked for an elective caesarean section, please present to the Maternity Ward on Level 2 for admission, where you will be prepared for surgery. Expected length of stay Note: This commences from the time the baby is born, not the time of admission.
