Women's and Babies Service

The Midwives and who brought my child into this world were amazing, and the Doctors and Nurses who performed surgery on my partner after her birth were incredible, the care they both received during and after I will be forever grateful for.My only issue is with the “inclusion” during the 6 week birthing course, they called Mothers “birthing people” over and over again, is it just a matter of time before the Women and Babies wing becomes the Birthing and Birthed person wing?I understand it’s good to be inclusive, but merely 1 in 50,000 women who give birth in Australia each year don’t identify as a woman, so it feels like being inclusive to that 1 person excludes the 49,999 mums who do the course, and confuses the Midwife/Midperson who’s teaching all of us Birthing People and Ejaculators (dads).But I suppose HR have to make some use of themselves, anyway, thanks for looking after my family, you beautiful, beautiful people, nothing but love for you all.

I had such a smooth and positive experience at RPA. I had my first child at a private hospital so I had very low expectations with the public system. However, I can confidently say my experience at RPA was very positive. I never had to wait for the midwife appointments, food was surprisingly good and I received such good care for the 2 nights I was there. All the staff members were awesome but I would especially like to thank midwife Mel T for being so patient, caring and informative at each appointment, the birthing team - Emily (?) and the 3rd year student nurse who was so supportive during labour and to midwife Jenny who knew what I needed each time I buzzed the call button in the hours of 12-5am.

5 stars to all the teams at RPA. I was so nervous about labour and delivery in the lead up to heading in, but all the staff are so well trained, compassionate and caring that quickly subsided. From the first few calls to delivery ward for advice on early labour and when to head in all the way through to birth and recovery, each and every staff member was patient, experienced and kind. A special thanks to Roslyn, Hannah and Jordan for helping me deliver my bub and to all the doctors as well. I cant fault the system at all. They were busy but ever so attentive and patient with me. A very positive birth experience with an amazing team. Thank you all for your hard work!

Absolutely incredible what they do there, I delivered my baby in the delivery ward with Lucy and Amy and I could not have asked for a better experience. The support from Lorna in birthing centre and Christie who has immersive knowledge guided me along the way. I could not have asked for a better birth. Karen came to do our house visits after and is so well informed and caring. Amazing! Thank you all so much for what you do for us, much appreciated. Keisha, Daniel and baby x

Sitting in Fetal Medicine I can’t help but think of all the pregnant women who have to sit exposed to this horrible mold. The tiles are like $0.20 each to replace.

Such good midwives who took great care of me and guided me so well through my labour process and then later with the newborn baby. So glad we chose RPA!

On Sunday 08/01/2023 I was induced and my beautiful baby boy was born on 09/01/2023, I cannot thank the midwives and nurses enough! They were absolutely incredible, compassionate and understanding. I felt so well cared for and comfortable during my 4 day stay. I really commend the hard work, and passion that the staff have when taking care of the women and babies. I am forever great full and I hope that they all know how amazing they are. Couldn't have don't it without them. Thank you so very much.Xoxo

They are negligent and never micro-check the baby's condition before going to the labour room. Even when giving birth, only one midwife gave birth with her arms crossed She did nothing just keep saying Push when you feel contruction" They're attitude was so bad and rude. Extremely arrogant."

We had our first baby here , I must say the midwifery team and the nurses are a bunch of exclusive gems there , they not only have excellent knowledge of what they do , the are also adept in imparting that knowledge and help equip new parents with everything they need to know before they leave the hospital.You ladies are amazing Kudos to youCheers!
