Who can deliver your baby at The George Centre?
Only one of The George Centre’s accredited obstetricians is able to delivery your baby at our hospital. If you have an obstetrician that is not accredited, they will not be able to deliver your baby in our private maternity unit.

Some education sessions are included in your maternity booking and others are an additional service provided on site by other service operators and will incur additional costs. Please see some of our classes detailed below.

Well-baby Nursery
Throughout your stay in our maternity unit, our mums have access to our well-baby nursery. Supported by our experienced midwives, it is a welcome haven for our mums and provides nappies, wraps, a bathing area, and education services so you can feel comfortable and confident about the care of your baby while you’re with us; and especially when you go home together.
Special care nursery
The George Centre maternity unit also features a Level 2 Special Care Nursery to cater to the needs of babies who need some extra care after birth from qualified, specialty trained nurses, midwives and specialist paediatricians.
How long will I stay at The George Centre maternity unit when I give birth?
Your stay with us will depend on the type of birth you have.
If you have a normal vaginal delivery, you will have between a 1-4 day stay in our private rooms with a double bed.
Mum’s who have a caesarean section will be accommodated in a private single room for their initial post operative care, and once you have been cleared by a doctor, you will be able to transfer into a room with a double bed or one of our LUXE suites (dependent upon availability). The stay for a caesarean section delivery is between 1-5 nights.

What does my health insurance cover?
This varies based on your level of cover and your health fund. If you’re planning a pregnancy, we recommend you get in touch with your fund to check your inclusions. You should ask:
- Do you have a waiting period?
- Does you level of cover need to change to cover all your needs during your stay (ie Special Care Nursery)
- What is the excess or co-payment on your level of cover and how much is it?
Even if you don’t have private health insurance you can still deliver your baby at The George Centre
