A group of leading obstetricians on the Central Coast have voiced their deep disappointment at Healthe Care’s decision to close the Maternity Unit at Gosford Private Hospital, effective 31 March 2025.
The closure of the Maternity Unit at Gosford Private severely restricts the choice of private care for expectant mothers, limiting their ability to access a range of high-quality, personalised obstetric services.
Local obstetricians believe this decision undermines patient autonomy and reduces the care options available to women during one of the most important moments of their lives.
Leading Central Coast Obstetrician, Dr Peta Skilbeck said, “I am deeply disappointed for the women of the Central Coast. However, having had both my babies at Gosford Hospital, I can personally vouch for the amazing care they provide.”
“We are working closely with Gosford Hospital to ensure our patients continue to receive the highest stand of care during this transition,” she added.
Intuition Private has long been dedicated to providing exceptional obstetric and gynaecological care to women on the Central Coast. The Intuition Private/ team remains steadfast in supporting their patients through this change.
