The facilities and staff are amazing! They took great care of me during my pregnancy and after. I felt so supported and cared for by the staff. I'm so glad I had my second baby! Great Hospital.

Absolutely disgusting.
Wouldn’t recommend I hate that I have to be at this hospital.
To have my baby.

4th baby due to have a c-section
I’ve had 3 previous horrific csections all emergency 36-37 weeks tiny babies.
This one huge baby and I’m dying, I’m 34weeks and in such bad health I can barley move. I have horrific issues with my heart rate been in and out of hospital for baby movements and pain.
And they just laugh and don’t care.
Absolutely disgusting behaviour.
I’m scared to go back.
But have no other option.they basically would rather me die than take baby out. I’m unable to give birth naturally due to being unable to dilate at all. And also all my babies being so close together. I’m heart broken that I may not make it to be here for all of my children. Because the “new research” says babies are better to stay in till 39 weeks.
I’ve almost died 3 times.
My babies were not planned by me. But I do love them and have left domestic violence relationships because I was afraid I would die and my children are now safer… but this hospital is just horrible.

I had my son here. The birth team was exceptional however care following his birth was terrible. We were told he had a dilated kidney which would go away by itself, then at 9 weeks we were told he needed antibiotics or he’d lose a kidney then we were given a script for antibiotics and every chemist we went to said the antibiotics didn’t exist. We then spent 40min on hold to the hospital and eventually were told we had to go there for the antibiotics (after the doctor we saw said they were available at all chemists). This caused us so much stress and put our son at risk.

I recently gave birth to my beautiful daughter at Joan Kirner hospital and so thankful for the staff and had a wonderful experience there. Special mentions Dr. Monisha, mid wives Imaan, kaytlyn, Janet, Maria, Zoe, Quinn, Kathy, Anne. My delivery was a traumatic one and everyone was so patient and supportive.

The emergency Department is the worst in all Australia. After I got Diagnosedwith conditions in my skin and Blood during my second trimester in my pregnancy, I Never got any treatment and Results. Let me way for 2 days in arrow without Care plan and medication. Finally I left the hospital and not one noticed. My honest opinion never go to this hospital. Please 🙏 go somewhere else.

I feel completely uncomfortable being at this hospital.. The reception staff act like children. They hang up on me every time I try and reschedule an appointment or ask a question. I have been suffering with HG during this pregnancy and had to go to Hospital at sunshine er unfortunately where I encountered Dr Raj. Who treated me like a drug addict (because I was so sick and vomiting) and asked me inappropriate questions about my pregnancy and appointments... not to mention the staff are inexperienced (I'm a nurse and had to explain to the RN how to use the IV that was in my arm). I've had to go to the women's and children's next door.....its just as bad. not only hanging up on people but again asking inappropriate questions to my husband over the phone! Not allowing my husband to speak on my behalf to rebook an appointment which he has always done for me in Australia. Unfortunately I've lived in the US and our hospitals are turning just as bad as the US ones.. its going to get worse and worse. I will be going to one more appointment to have my files transferred to a different hospital and make a formal complaint about everything I have seen and experienced and I will be making one to the Hospital board as well.. Sunshine is atrocious.. I would not trust one doctor here with the care of my baby or my body during something as delicate as birth. I also don't want the stress of being treated terribly during labour and not being listened to again.

They also spent $200 Million on the hospital site just to employ useless staff... probably should spend more money on staffing then fancy furniture....

My wife went into early labour on the 3rd of July 2023 and our son was born with no heartbeat.

The staff on level 3 provided us with excellent care, support and advice to help us through the worst time in our lives. I can't imagine what they could have done better.
