Notes:
The Royal Hospital for Women was established in 1901 and was dedicated to improving conditions and
treatment for all women and children. The hospital was renowned for its high standard of care and for
significant innovations in medical practice including the opening of the first baby health centre in Australia in
1906 and the development of Australia?s first diagnostic ultrasound unit in 1962. By the time of its closure,
280,000 babies had been delivered at the Hospital.
The Royal Hospital for Women Paddington was closed in 1997 and later demolished for residential
development. As part of the development agreement, a half hectare site fronting Glenmore Road was
reserved as open space by Woollahra Council. Latitude: -33.883113, Longitude: 151.225229
