How do I book in at Northpark Private Hospital to have my baby?

Northpark is a private hospital, so your care is led by an obstetrician. Your obstetrician does not book your stay at the hospital. You do that yourself.

1. See your GP. After your GP confirms your pregnancy, ask for a referral to an obstetrician.
2. Complete your eAdmission. After your first appointment with your obstetrician, create an account on the hospital's eAdmission portal and start a new admission. Have your obstetrician's name, health fund details, GP details and emergency contact ready.
3. Wait for the paperwork. Maternity Booking staff send you paperwork and a date and time for a midwife to phone you.
4. Take the midwife's pre-admission call. It covers your questions, your antenatal history and how ready you feel for your stay.
5. Check costs early. Contact your health fund early. You receive a cost estimate, including any excess or co-payments, after your eAdmission. For booking questions, call (03) 9468 0503.
