Coming to Hospital
Are you in labour?
When you think you are in labour, if your membranes have ruptured or if you have any bleeding, please telephone the birthing suite on (03) 9411 7103.
When you arrive at the hospital, please confirm your details at reception on the ground floor. If your doctor tells you to come to the hospital, please remember to telephone the Birthing Suite before leaving home.
After-hours access
For security reasons, from 10.00pm to 6.00am you will find the hospital main entrance doors locked, so please use the Maternity buzzer at the front entrance and you will be admitted immediately.
Support people
Please discuss with your doctor and midwife if you wish to have support people. They will need to be informed of your arrangements and be prepared to attend to your needs during delivery.
Please note, during the COVID-19 Pandemic only 1 partner or support person is permitted in the birthing suite.
Our Birth Suite has moved
We have officially opened our new Birth Suites in the East Tower and therefore have a new entrance. Check out our video that guides you step-by-step from the Victoria St entrance to our brand-new Birth Suites. We want your journey to be as smooth and stress-free as possible when the big moment arrives.
Watch the video to familiarise yourself with the route, and get ready to welcome your little one in our beautiful new space!

If at any time during your pregnancy you have concerns, please feel free to contact the Materity line on (03) 9411 7634. The Birthing Suite has 24 hour-a-day contact with your obstetrician.
