Going home from hospital 

Depending on how your baby is delivered, you can expect to remain in hospital for three to five days after your baby’s birth. Your obstetrician and your baby’s paediatrician will check the wellbeing of you and your baby before you both leave the hospital. Please arrange appointments with your obstetrician and paediatrician for six weeks after your baby’s birth.
 

Discharge

The discharge time from Mater Mothers’ Private Brisbane is 10 am each day. Please ensure that you have pre-arranged for someone to be available to pick you up at 10 am on the anticipated day of discharge and that your baby safety restraint has been fitted securely, prior to your discharge. If you perceive any problems with these discharge requirements, please inform your midwife or nurse as early as possible so that other arrangements can be made.


The Caring Continues

You will also have access to our The Caring Continues offering. If you and baby are well and meet the eligibility criteria, you can choose one of three packages after birth to best suit your needs, including Health and Wellbeing at Home, Helping Hand at Home and Mater Moments at Emporium Hotel South Bank, a luxurious support option for Mater Mothers’ Private Brisbane mums.
