Choosing Private Obstetric Care
Partnering with a private obstetrician ensures that you receive personalised, experienced, familiar, one-on-one care from the same trusted specialist throughout your pregnancy, birth, and postnatal journey.
Why Partnering with a Private Obstetrician is Valuable
Private Obstetricians have specialised training and considerable experience – the most important part. This experience is particularly valuable in high-risk pregnancies, where you may want certainty that you will not be treated by a doctor in training during your delivery.
Partnering with a private obstetrician offers unmatched continuity of care throughout your pregnancy, birth, and postnatal journey. You will enjoy having the same trusted expert by your side, where you will build a strong relationship and have your unique needs and preferences thoroughly understood and catered for.
This personalised approach ensures that every aspect of yours, and baby’s medical status during your pregnancy is catered to, fostering confidence and reducing stress during this transformative time.
When you engage one of our private Obstetricians, you will deliver as a private patient at Gosford Hospital, and will receive a private level of care. But most importantly, you will have the peace-of-mind that your pre-selected, experienced specialist obstetrician is managing your care.
The best care for you and your baby
Intuition Private are the leaders in Obstetrics & Gynaecology on the Central Coast, supporting local mothers during their pregnancy journey and beyond.
Continuity of Care
Partnering with a private obstetrician ensures that you receive personalised, one-on-one care from the same trusted expert throughout your pregnancy, birth, and postnatal journey. This continuity builds a strong relationship, ensuring your preferences and needs are fully understood and respected.
It also means you know who will be delivering your baby in the case of an emergency.
Increased Birth Choices
While birthing in a private hospital may no longer be an option, private obstetricians work closely with public hospitals like Gosford Hospital to help ensure you have a say in key decisions, such as your birth plan, delivery style, and care preferences.
Over 80% of Your Care Happens as an Outpatient
More than 80% of your maternity care occurs in the outpatient setting (inside the Intuition Private clinic) through your regular appointments with your private obstetrician. This element of your care remains completely unchanged by the recent closure, ensuring the same level of personalised attention and expertise throughout your pregnancy.
It’s Not Where You Are, But Who You Are With
The relationship with your obstetrician is what truly matters. Regardless of the birthing location, having a trusted, experienced professional by your side ensures that you feel confident, cared for, and supported during one of the most important moments of your life.
No Change to Costs
In Australia, Hospital Cover on your health insurance only applies to activities in a hospital setting. Since the costs of your care with us are for outpatient services, there is no change to the cost of our care as a result of the closure of Gosford Private Maternity Services.
Tailored Support
Private obstetricians offer highly individualised care plans tailored to your medical needs, birth preferences, and unique circumstances. This personalised approach ensures you feel confident and supported every step of the way.
Experience You Can Rely On
Private obstetricians bring a wealth of experience and specialised knowledge to your care. Their expertise is particularly valuable in managing high-risk pregnancies or complex medical situations, ensuring you and your baby are in the best possible hands.
Additionally, we now have access to increased resources in the special care nursery, the benefit of 24-hour onsite theatre access where required, and onsite registrars in both obstetrics and paediatrics at Gosford Hospital.
These highly trained professionals are available in the event of an absolute emergency, providing immediate support, while your obstetrician is on the way.
Private Hospital-Level Care in a Public Setting
Partnering with a private obstetrician ensures access to many of the benefits typically associated with private hospital care, such as priority for private rooms (where available), extended postnatal stays, and personalised delivery plans. Where a private room is available, partners are able to stay for the full stay period.
For those who wish to head home early, our Intuition Private midwives are available to provide postnatal care in the comfort of your own home.
Dedicated Time and Attention
Private obstetricians offer longer and more in-depth appointments, providing ample time to address your concerns, discuss options, and ensure you feel fully informed and empowered in your care.
Access to Additional Resources
Private obstetricians often provide access to a broader support team, including midwives, physiotherapists, and other specialists, ensuring a holistic approach to your health and well-being.
Advocacy and Partnership
Your private obstetrician serves as your advocate, ensuring that your voice is heard and your preferences are prioritised, even in a public hospital setting. This partnership fosters trust and ensures that you are fully supported in your decisions.
A tailored, supportive pregnancy experience for you.
By partnering with a private obstetrician, you are investing in a tailored, expert-led, and highly supportive experience, ensuring that your pregnancy and birthing journey is as smooth and positive as possible. It’s not just about where you are — it’s about who you are with.
