Campbelltown Hospital
Maternity Unit


The Campbelltown Maternity Unit was established in 1986 and cares for women within its role delineation of level 4 / 5. Currently with the combined activity for both hospitals, approximately 3000 women are confined annually. This will reduce, once Camden is recommissioned, to approximately 2400 to 2000 confinements
per year.

Obstetric Specialist Care is provided to both hospitals by a group of six Visiting Medical Officers and one Medical Director Staff Specialist. There are four registrar accredited training positions rotating from Liverpool Hospital, and two career medical officers, as well as providing training for medical students.

Midwifery Training is conducted in conjunction with two universities, the University of Western Sydney and University of Wollongong. There are differences in each program and intakes occur in February for Wollongong and February and July for Western Sydney.


The Midwifery Unit, Special Care Nursery provides experience for new graduate nurses and participates in a partnership for a Specialty Program for a post graduate nurses to experience and gain neonatal, paediatric and family / early childhood skills.

Antenatal care is provided through a variety of clinics to facilitate, when appropriate, patient / client choice. The clinic is very busy as only a small percentage of patients are privately insured.
