The Maternity Services Unit
Maternity Services at North Shore Private Hospital demonstrate a leading and
innovative approach to outcome-focused care for women and their families prior to, during and after childbirth.
Our Maternity services have been developed to provide flexibility and choice with a focus on you
and your baby’s individualised care.
The hospital offers a range of childbirth and parenting programs, each specifically designed
to cater for individual needs such as first-time parents; those with parenting experience; and
other special requirements. These programs aim to prepare you for the birth of your child and
adjustments to family life.
North Shore’s Maternity Services Team comprises experienced clinicians
committed to delivering a quality standard of care to provide the finest birthing and parenting
experience possible. The birthing services of the clinicians are complemented by the birthing and
parenting educators, delivery suite midwives, postnatal midwives, lactation specialists and staff
trained in neonatal care.
Our purpose-designed unit on Level 2 offers new parents an environment that relaxes and
reassures, and also offers the security of advanced neo-natal and adult intensive care should the
need arise.
The Maternity Unit comprises:
- One confidential assessment room - we have been established for about 10 years and have delivered many babies (approx 2800) per year
- Six birthing suites.
- Antenatal/postnatal ward.
- Special Care Nursery.
- Lounge for parents and/or patients.

The Birthing Suite
The Birthing Suite comprises large modern birthing rooms that ensure a personal and safe
environment for your birthing experience. Each suite features a large en-suite including spacious
bath and shower facilities. Labouring women and their partners are offered many flexible
choices to ensure a positive and safe birthing experience.
We encourage your partner and/or support person to be involved in your care during labour
and overnight facilities are provided in each Birthing Suite.
