About Us - RHW

For more than a century, the Royal Hospital for Women (RHW) has provided specialist health care in partnership with women. The RHW was not only the first women’s hospital in Australia, but also the country’s first lying-in hospital and is still the only women’s hospital in New South Wales.

Throughout the years the Royal has earned an outstanding national and international reputation for health care excellence. As a tertiary referral hospital the RHW is a leading research and teaching hospital in the field of women’s health.

Most importantly the RHW combines medical excellence with a warm and caring atmosphere.
