Frequently asked questions Birthcare Auckland

Where can I park?

Birthcare offers free secure, undercover parking for all visitors. Please use the park side entry to 20 Titoki Street.

Park in a ‘Birthcare’ car park and take the lift to Level 2.

Additional Parking – public pay and display parking is available on surrounding streets should you find the car park full.

Please do not park in any parking that is not ‘Birthcare’ as you will be towed.

After hours there is an intercom at the front door as well as the basement entry. Press the button and someone will answer the bell and open the door / gate for you.

Come to the main entrance and we will provide support until your midwife arrives, and for delivery if required.
