Records Location

These records are held by Royal North Shore Hospital (1885 - current).

Details

The Medical Records from the Royal North Shore Hospital used a new system from 1963. Previously, separate Obstetric Medical Records were kept. From 1963, the centralised unit record was used for information about obstetric and general admissions. It is difficult to determine the exact number of obstetric records in this series, or which records relate to adoptions carried out from the Hospital. According to Connecting Kin (1998), all obstetric medical records are retained indefinitely.

Access Conditions

Access to information relating to adoption cases is restricted to the adoptee and the birth parents. For access to these records please contact Royal North Shore Hospital.
