really?Central Queensland Hospital and Health Service has returned to full birthing services at Gladstone Hospital following a phased reintroduction of services since the service was placed on bypass in mid-2022.
Full birthing at Gladstone Hospital means that all expectant mothers with low-risk pregnancies, being 37 weeks or more gestation, can give birth closer to home at Gladstone Hospital.
As has always been the case, higher risk pregnancies will be referred to Rockhampton, which has more specialised support. The highest risk pregnancies have always been referred to tertiary hospitals and this will continue. Our multidisciplinary maternity care teams will continue to support expectant mothers to ensure they receive the best possible care in the safest location.
