Richmond Hospital has a 6-bed Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) situated within the Birth Centre unit.
The NICU is located within the Birth Centre, on the third floor within the south tower of the Richmond Hospital. The NICU is staffed with two NICU trained nurses on day and night shift. We work in collaboration with families in providing care for their infants.
If your baby requires admission to the NICU you and your partner will be able to see your baby and are encouraged participate in care at the discretion of the NICU staff. Skin-to-skin and breastfeeding / chestfeeding are supported, and feeding options will be explored.
A NICU admission package will be provided to you with guidelines and more information.
While your baby is in NICU, you and your family members may not be able to see and spend as much time with your newborn as you would like. To support family bonding as best as possible, and to provide you and your family members opportunity to see the baby even when away from the hospital, our NICU offers a live-streaming camera, free of charge. Please speak to your nurse to find out more.
