I would have selected 4 stars because Noarlunga hasn't been too bad a hospital when we have had the…read moremisfortune of having to go there but I just can't because you don't visit hospitals for positive reasons so it's hard to rate them higher. However, their wait times have not been as bad other hospitals I have been to in A & E. Note that they do not have any Paediatric facilities here so if you have a young child you may as well just go straight to Flinders as they will probably send you there anyway. We only had this occur once with our youngest but FMC then also sent us to WCH so it really wouldn't have mattered anyway. Grrr...... On a good note though I always go to the hospital if I need to have a blood test. Their hours are better for working people to fit into and their staff are much better trained and heaps better able to deal with kids fighting it every step of the way. Plus you never have to wait long. In addition a few years back to assist in getting the wait lists down for surgeries Noarlunga Hospital assisted FMC with some of their not high risk surgeries. So I got a call and only about 4 days later my son got his tonsils out. We had been on FMC wait list for over a year and he had it constantly. The staff were great with him and I was allowed to stay as well. Great to have this facility so close to home. Makes me feel a little less panicked somehow to at least be close to help if you need it. Just hope you never have to be in A & E here on election night...............worst experience ever! But not the hospitals fault so they lose no points on that one.

Do not come here for antenatal care. This one start review is based soley on the antenatal care I…read morereceived so don't judge the rest of the hospital on just this although after the experience I've had I lack trust with the entire thing. I ended up changing to flinders even though it's much harder for me to get there that's how bad this was. I never got to see the same midwife more than once, they were all horrible and didn't listen to a word I said when I was voicing my concerns and trying to inform them of my birth plan etc, they filled out all the information on my forms wrong, they neglected to measure my baby at visits which they should have been doing, lost my blood test results more than once so I kept having to have the same one. It was terrible all round and they failed to give me the information they should have and as a result I missed out on the natural birthing centre which would have been perfect for me and my baby. Flinders are so much better I highly recommend them.
