Congratulations!
We are very excited to share your journey with you and your whanau.
For patients who live in the Waitematā DHB (WDHB) zone, Birthcare would like to extend you a warm welcome and would like to assist you in any way to help create precious memories of the beginning of your journey into parenthood.
Birthcare Auckland has an agreement with the WDHB for extra beds for when both hospitals (North Shore Hospital and Waitakere Hospital) are full. Birthcare can take patients for up to two nights under this agreement. Under this agreement, you will transfer to Birthcare with a letter signed off by the hospital Duty Manager. Please note, without this letter, you will automatically be charged at the full rate as your postnatal stay will be unfunded.
