On the Delivery Suite we care for women during labour and birth. This includes induction of labour. We also care for women requiring high dependency care, both before and after giving birth.
We want to make you feel as comfortable as possible when you visit our wards, and all our staff aim to adhere to our values of Passionate, Respectful, and Responsible. Find out more information about our vision and values.

Babies born below 32 weeks gestation and those requiring more specialised intensive care are transferred to larger regional units by EMBRACE, a dedicated transfer team.
We have seven special care cots, providing short and medium term care for sick and preterm infants and one intensive care cot. The unit is well serviced with specialised equipment and expertise to provide care for babies who require specialised nursing. We have two parent bedrooms with kitchen and bathroom facilities.
There is also a dedicated breastfeeding room. Breast pumps are available for use on the Unit and may be able to be borrowed for use in the home while the baby remains on the Unit.
We offer flexible visiting hours for parents/carers and siblings. Grandparents, aunts, and uncles can visit between 12pm-7pm. To minimise cross infection, no other visitors are allowed. We only allow two visitors per baby at any one time.
