Antenatal Care Bookings

All bookings for Antenatal Care at the Royal Hospital for Women are through your General Practitioner who will complete and forward an Electronic Referral (eReferral) on your behalf. Once we have received the eReferral from your GP we aim to contact you within 2-3 weeks to arrange a booking appointment. Please answer calls from 'No caller ID'.

Important points:

  • Before your first booking appointment please ensure that you have visited your general practitioner who will:
    • Confirm your pregnancy (preferably by ultrasound).
    • Complete and forward an eReferral to the hospital on your behalf.
    • Organise routine blood tests.
    • Discuss genetic screening options.
  • If you have not heard from us after 4 weeks from seeing your GP please contact the Antenatal Outpatients Department on 9382 6048, or leave a voicemail on 9382 6206 and we will call you back. 
  • Your hospital booking appointment will usually be conducted when you are about 14 weeks pregnant.
  • Please bring all the above results to your first appointment at the hospital.
