Birth Centre Royal North Shore Hospital

I will be forever grateful for my birth team - Deb, Dylan and most especially, Bec! She was very reassuring and supportive. I felt like she was a family looking after me. Rose Nicolas at the ward was also exceptional! Me and my baby was well taken care of. The quality of service is outstanding!

The most beautiful birth experience!
After having an almost traumatic 1st birth experience at RPA, the midwives at RNS made my 2nd birth (which was a VBAC) everything I wished for and more. I can not thank our birthing midwife Minh enough for supporting my VBAC water birth and RNS for making the environment and process so seamless and relaxing. Truly grateful and would recommend to anyone birthing to come to RNS!

3 months ago we had our first child in this birthing centre. We would like to say huge huuuge thank you for our amazing midwife - Stephanie Rawling.
She understood and respected our birth plan wishes, was really professional supportive and truly carrying person. I wish to have our second baby with her on my side haha 🌸 best experience ever!

Also thanks for all royal north shore team as well! Really professional too! 🌼

Birthing rooms are super tidy, clean and comfy!

I am glad that I had my first baby here in the north shore Hospital - special shout out to the midwifery group and the nicu units

Best hospital in Sydney. Feels like private . Midwifes and Nurses on top of everything. The care, knowledge, attention and much more. I just had my second baby in RNSH Public on purpose as I had great experience with 1st time, and if I would’ve to choose have 10 kids I would still go here again. Ingrid looked after my 1st baby delivery, and second were Katrina and Deb. Much appreciated every single person in this hospital from reception team till the cleaners. Forgot to mention by the way, hygiene is another level perfect 👍🏼.
P.s. this post is written by Anush Hovhannisyan 😄. Just felt lazy to switch accounts 😁☺.

just had my first child here, first thing I do after is to downgrade the private insurance because here's too good that we will definitely go here again without any doubt! thanks all the staff for their professional care

We recently attended the Birth Centre Royal North Shore for the birth of our child. Staff at the maternity ward ( all midwives) are superb, very experienced, caring and supportive. We were extremely lucky that we received very good care. Thank you very much and you guys are amazing. Keep up the good work.

My wife delivered our first baby here last week, we couldn’t have picked a better hospital or a better midwife than June Payne she was very supportive and professional everything went smooth
Thank you June we will always remember you.

Given it's position on the lower North Shore, one would expect most people to go to reasonably close private hospitals of Mater and RNS Private. We made the decision to have our child in the public system after speaking to Obstetricians, midwives who have worked with a mixture of the three, and to parents who have had experience with all three. The last parent I spoke with had one child at each and summed up what the professionals had said - best facilities, best accessibility to staff in an emergency - the only two things you miss are a nice meal and a nice bill.

We still went into with medium expectations. But the staff were attentive. The facilities in the birth unit were not only new, but had everything one would want. The midwives are on for 12 hour shifts and really made us feel relaxed and reassured. At the time of the birth, there was two of everyone and a lot of intentional double checking (very impressive).

Our stay in the birth unit was not rushed. Nor was our stay in the ward. Nearly all the rooms are private and quite large (not too different from the private hospital). There are 8 share rooms, but these are typically taken by the youngest and healthiest of mothers, or those who are staying with family.

I spoke with one father whose child was in NICU having been born extremely premature - the family were staying in a double room simply because they were out of town. A very generous and caring thing for the hospital to arrange.

We will choose RNS again without issue.

The actual location is at 1 Westbourne St, St Leonards, NSW 2065, in the Clinical Services Building. I tried to move the location pin but Google did not approve it because it "couldn't be verified". Maybe if more of us tried to change the location, Google will actually approve it.

Btw, fantastic experience so far with RNSH. Couldn't ask for more!

Had our first baby here. Amazing experience, midwives and doctors were super helpful and caring. Everything was almost flawless. Thanks so much.

Amazing staff, had water birth. Would love to have our next one there!
