What can I say? No one 'wants' to be in hospital but…read more..... Where to start...parking. Yes there is parking. Yes you pay for the privilege to park, and they are not shy about their fees! At least they have a garage so that's something. Just my opinion but, the parking needs to be improved. A lot. Getting in and out of the car park is akin to a juggling act on a trapeze. Terrible and dangerous and whoever designed it should be ashamed......as should the powers that be that approved it. The fees are exorbitant, in my opinion, so if you're on a tight budget, think twice. *This is my only complaint thus, deducted 1star. The public and private facilities are adjacent to each other even though your gps might show you two separate addresses. I don't want to sound like I'm gushing here but, as hospital experiences go, this was excellent! Really! The lobby and reception areas are clean, bright and friendly staff. The day surgery waiting area is light, has chair seating and usually runs like a well oiled machine. Friendly staff members understand you're there for a procedure and probably nervous...and they are friendly and smiling and make it a little better, as smiles do! Once ready for procedure, while it can be redundant they asked several times pertinent questions, which was great because I had concerns that they helped to alleviate somewhat. Fast forward to an overnight recovery and the nurses are incredible, friendly and caring. 'My' nurses included Michelle and DJ. To be honest, they deserve kudos on every level! The food was better than hospital food, better than airplane food and I want to give credit where credit is due....but don't expect it to be 5star restaurant quality because you'll be disappointed. All in all, as hospital stays go, St Vincent's is really wonderful! Runs like a well oiled machine, clean and beautiful, and more importantly to me, excellent staff members, non-medical and medical. If they can improve anything, it would be the car park.

My visit here was very positive! The directions were easy to follow but if you need assistance finding your way, every staff member is happy to help you and very friendly. From the Barker Street entrance just follow the purple path to the elevator, go to the 2nd floor and continue on until you see the sign that says Billington Centre. Easy peasy. Sheree schedules appointments and also checks you in upon arrival. Due to Covid, scheduling was dramatically impacted so I'm guessing Sheree fielded lots of frantic or distressed people wanting to know when they could schedule their procedure. Sheree is friendly and professional and helpful and calm(!). I applaud her and thank her! This unit has several nurses and members of staff, all kind and friendly. Stephen Butler!!! I don't know if I kept him laughing or if he kept me laughing but, I can not thank him enough for his professionalism, friendliness, too. Gareth and Stephen have a fantastic rapport with each other and it radiates to everyone else. Gareth gave me my post-procedure information and instructions, also answered my questions and another friendly face of this unit. Dr Sorayya is the anaesthetists' intern who explained everything, what to expect, and answered all my questions. Naturally, each member of this well coordinated team followed up with me afterwards, making sure I was doing alright. I was pleasantly surprised to have a follow up phone call from Stephen the day after my procedure. The teamwork and professionalism exhibited deserve kudos to every member of this team and of the unit as well as the Billington Centre. Turns what might be an unpleasant experience into a better experience. Thank you Billington Centre and even bigger thank you to Stephen Butler and Gareth (nurses), Sheree and Sorayya.

One of my very close friends (hi Sal!) just punched out a baby (hi Raphael!) and, until I can find him a red eyemask and a pair of sai as a welcome to the world gift, I swung by P.O.W. Private for a visit. For such a monolithic complex it's remarkably easy & straightforward to park, navigate and get where you're going. From car to kisses was about 3 minutes, with a 1 minute break to help a blind man out the front of the sliding doors find a bench to sit down on. The rooms are clean, well-appointed, the nurses nicely starched, and everything had an air of well-looked-after-ness. In place of the jello and custard my patient event had a fresh chicken salad sitting in her food table - hospital vittles have come a long way. Even got to see a bit of boob in the new baby feeding room. Of course, I'm sure they're paying for the privilege, but still. Schmick.

The parking on the street is all for doctors who have a parking station nearby. The hospital is badly designed, it needs to be rebuilt. I would love to see a health minister spend a week there, the food is atrocious, no provision for special diets. Food is all frozen and no kitchen prepare food for patients on site. The staff are rushed off their feet, but they also neglect hygiene needs of patients. I had to visit my husband in ICU, I can't believe that patients are just shoved in any space available. It would have to be the last hospital I would ever go to. ZERO STARS FROM ME.

Thinking of having a baby? Well this is the place to have it (from a guy's perspective that is)…read more And, if I had my time again, it's probably where I would like to be born. There are rooms where partners can stay with new born, the food is good (yes, I did steal the odd morsel from the plate of my recovering wife), and the nurses and general staff are informative, caring and helpful. Mum can attend a swag of classes while she is held up there: baby washing, breast feeding, managing baby sleep, etc. The hospital itself is clean and modern with a couple of coffee shops too. One of the highlights that the maternity ward puts on is a twice a week High Tea for visiting families to spend time with mum and baby. It's a smorgasbord of cakes, pastries finger sandwiches and hot canapés with decent coffee and tea served on china. Best of all, on your last night you can have a date night and leave the hospital while baby is looked after by one of the midwives in the nursery. Tip: If you don't like the room you are in, ask if there is a better one. Chances are that (especially if you are polite to the nurses and staff), you will get a better one once someone has checked out.

The comunication with the doctors and the nurses has been as great as could be expected. I guess the thing that is the most important is that everything seems clean, there aren't any weird smells, and I feel like if we needed anything, somebody would be around. Maddie the nurse was really responsible, and so was Jehnee the anesthesiology nurse. The doctor even came out before the surgery to say hi to my sister and I, apparently something that he doesn't typically do in between surgeries. I'm hoping that no news is good news...but, WHY IS THERE CARPET EVERYWHERE?! Like...I've worked in my fair share of hospitals, and i have NEVER seen so much carpeting. Like, what if there's blood?!

The birthing suite is finished to a high standard with all the tools you need to aid when in labour, once your baby has arrived you move to the maternity ward where you either have a private room or share with another new mum.

The food although bland actually fits what you need after giving birth. All in all I would recommend if possible giving birth here, it's perfect.

A modern, clean and sterile healthcare facility owned by Primary Health Care. You would be forgiven for thinking that you are being treated at a small private hospital. The lounges in the waiting area is comfortable and inviting, and their on-site x-ray and pathology facilities are pretty good. It is great to be able to have these pivotal tests done at the one place. You do not generally have to wait for too long; unless you turn up immediately after work during a weekday or at lunchtimes during the week; other times including weekends are the best times to come here. The Doctors are fairly good; although the consultations with a couple of them could go for a little longer. It is great they ring you to come in if your test results aren't that great; and also if a Doctor promises you that they will send you something; they honour their word and do this without fail. Definitely a great medical centre for when it is needed.

The staff are always helpful and the receptionist at the front is very efficient. There is a good cafeteria, newsagent, florist and mini bakery. Visitors don't need to go hungry here and walking between the wards is always a good exercise program. Don't catch the lifts they take forever and only fit a certain number of people. Parking is problematic if staying over a few hours. An older hospital that has been added to over the years. The shared rooms are generally 4 to a ward. If you can handle the situation of sharing with strangers, or too sick to worry then this is a good hospital.

We were given NO choice as to where he would end up and he ended up in the wing/ ward - infamous ward 11 sharing with 3 poor souls who couldn't communicate etc and some couldn't use a bathroom etc. The sounds of distress and the smells of the ward became overwhelming. No wonder their carers stayed relatively short times with them. He used full private health insurance. He wasn't expecting to be treated like royalty - unlike the seemingly contrasted treatment to the fellow across the hall in a private room. Dad has made me PROMISE to never ever go there ever again and he feels SO strongly I had to try but nearest private hospitals don't have emergency departments?
