having our third child next month (hopefully). had always gone semi private but this time we decided to go public. the wait times were actually not bad at all.

my question is this. we have excellent health insurance, are we entitled to use our health insurance to get into a six person ward or even a private room after the delivery?

semi private went up from 600 to 800 and now 1200, so we opted out.

No. It states on the website that you cannot do this.

Not a hope, even if you pay semi private you aren't guaranteed a room. Public wards in the Rotunda are 10 bed wards, to be fair some of the semi private rooms seem very crowded, some I saw were 4 bed wards with 6 in them.
