I had a single room after one birth, and the last time I was in a room with 4 beds to recover.
SJOG Subiaco did in 2020 at least.
SJOG Murdoch allows boarders
from these comments fiona stanley does too, also bunbury and buselton
As you are an American now living in perth, this is a preferable place for any medical situation lol
FSH allowed me to stay two nights in March this year
What aspects of women’s health aren’t fun enough or sunshine based to be appropriate for men to see? If you mean other than the birth of their child, the guy isn’t gonna be walking through the rooms of random women and seeing sunshine-less things
Women aren't allowed to board either at KEMH. Apparently. The safety and comfort of patients to not be around men at all hours is for sure part of it, but clearly not all.
There can definitely be mixed-patient rooms (4 patients to a room), so I'm not sure what you mean by that. That was in Mar-Apr 2023 so if that's not normally the case it still can and does happen. (The room was not well set-up for multiple patients, either.)
https://www.kemh.health.wa.gov.au/Patients-and-Visitors/Private-Patients you can be a private patient at a public hospital.
When I gave birth at King Eddies in April my husband was allowed to stay and slept with me in the labor room, but we were in the MAFTA unit and loosing the baby, so that may have been why
There’s a new hotel within walking distance of the hospital now! Courtyard by Marriott Perth Murdoch
12 Fiona Wood Road, Murdoch
Same with me! My husband wasn't allowed to stay over. This was in mid 2022. I felt slightly panicked but it worked out fine
I'm not gonna lie I asked the nurses to kick me out when wife had a c section.
I’m not sure about now, but my husband was kicked out from 10pm every night at Joondalup. This was last year January.
My Partner gave birth at Joondalup Public side in March, all natural, bubs was premature and needed feeding during the night in neonatal, my wife had grade 2 stitch's. I was asked to leave at 10pm however informed the nursing team that I was going to stay on the couch to help out at night. They were fine with it, no issues at all.
Here is an extract from Visitor Information from Joondalups website:
"
We welcome next of kin, guardians and/or partners in care 24-hours a day, according to our patient’s preference, wellbeing, and other patient and staff safety. However, visitor presence can be flexible according to patient needs in discussion with the treating nursing team."
I birthed 3 times at kemh as a private patient & my husband was not allowed to stay the night.
No, you need to pay out of pocket for a private hospital. They let partners stay; public hospitals do not.

I had a two bed room after my first in 2021 but they changed wards possibly last year so it’s all single rooms now.
yep, i stayed five or six nights (can't remember exactly) at KEMH, i think it depends on a number of factors.
I gave birth at KEMH, before I did I was curious as to why men weren't allowed to stay over night. After spending five nights there - I am no longer surprised. There were shouting and aggressive men in the room next to me during visiting hours, thankfully they were kicked out at some point. Random sketchy men wondering around would not surprise me. They aren't all lovely new dads.
Sorry I'm not answering this one. Just understand not every woman's child birthing experience is smiles and rainbows with happy families. That's all.
Generally speaking birthing mums are given single use rooms, yes, gynae / urogynae patients are given mixed rooms out of accommodation and bed management requirements .... Circumstances do change however, for example in 2023 with the rising cost of motions at everything a lot of people in birthing age range dropped their gold level health insurance products which is what you need to birth a child in the private system for example...
So much so, that the SJOG mt Lawley hospital stopped offering obstetrics for example and I think (?) a few other SJOG hospital closed theirs too... Buuuut people still kept having sex (Ew) and making more babies (double ew) so where do those patients go? Bingo, public system. (Of course) And thus perhaps that might explain the mixed use bed management incident, but generally mixed rooms for birthing mums isn't the first preference
Yes, not sure what your point is here. You can use your private health insurance to contribute funding towards an otherwise public funded hospital. As is the case with any public hospital, you can choose to use your private health insurance product if you're eligible to use your private health insurance funding at king eddy's. What's your point here, sorry?
Not true for all public hospitals. Partners can stay at Busselton.
You can go to any Public Hospital as a Private Patient. KEMH will only accept you if you are in their catchment, or if you are referred there by your OB for medical reasons (usually high risk pregnancies).
Going Private in Public does not guarantee you a private room, though if one is available they will usually offer it to you.
Partners cannot stay with you, regardless of if you have a private room or not.
KEMH would not let my husband stay even after I had a 42 hr labour that ended in an emergency c. Then they left me alone with my baby to get up and feed him after having 42 staples across my stomach, it was a nightmare. I wouldn't recommend KEMH unless you're desperate and even then...
Same for Bunbury, just had our first baby 7 weeks ago today through public (there’s no private in Bunbury now anyway) and my partner was welcome to stay for as long as we wanted/needed to be staying there. They provided him with a bed and were very welcoming.
You get a private room at kemh whether you like it or not, actually... Problem is... Nobody knows what a private room is..! :)
That's awful, I'm so sorry.
Also adding another voice to say KEMH won't let partners stay, even if you are in a private room and on private health insurance. For those who explain it as the hospital can't have men staying there, it applies to women too.
I don't think this is exclusive to KEMH. I had the exact same experience at Peel Health Campus. 47 hour labour followed by emergency C section and partner could not stay. I wouldn't be surprised if this was most hospitals.
Busso has double beds with an en suite, regional healthcare win!! Only two rooms mind. Midwives said there’s usually one or two days a year when they have to use an overflow room.
Same for Fiona Stanley
I got no room at KEMH… I had a home birth with private midwives and went in for emergency checks on bub as he was being dramatic, all the beds were full so they let him in and gave me a chair. They finally found a bed where parents can sleep if their babies are in the nicu. Amazing for high risk birth and care but for normal/low risk there’s lots of intervention that isn’t needed.
My partner was allowed to stay the night atto KEMH. It was either that or the baby stayed in their nursery for the whole night as I was bed ridden for days. I think they just gave up with me
I'll be giving birth there in about a month. I've heard lots of positive reviews. I had my 1st child in Sydney at the Royal Hospital for Women and didn't have such a great time in the postnatal wards.
I’ve heard their rooms are amazing, i actually considered going to Busso to have baby just for their rooms 🫢
I got an ensuite as well as our own room because they’re no longer using the private rooms for St John which was amazing but the rooms are SO tiny I couldn’t imagine paying what they used to charge for private and getting that room I’d be so pissed!!
I was looking just the other day (we're about a month out from our first) and the Fiona Stanley website states they don't have overnight facilities for partner/support person.
The rooms are amazing and the midwives all very supportive. When I moved to the postnatal room they told me - you’re only “supposed” to stay for three or four nights, but if you’re not ready to go home just let me know and we can write the right thing on your chart so you can stay as long as you need.
Wow. Thats great. I hope I have a good experience too.
Our RCD tripped this morning and would only reset when I turned the pump switch off. Would anyone know if I need an electrician, plumber or both? The septic companies I googled just seem to be waste removal and I'm waiting on replies from these. Not sure how long we can go without back up into the house.
Any recommendations for good ones SOR?
Shit
Is it an ATU or a septic system? We get our ATU serviced and maintained by ATU Sewage Services based in the hills and they are always easy to deal with. Phone number is 9399 2257
Full pressure plumbing and gas have been great for us. Their plumber always discussed with us cost effective options
Your septic has a pump?
TIL… pretty new to having these things myself, ours seems to be entirely passive.
If you want your septic pumping out I recommend Dean at Byford Liquid Waste. Good guy. And Mike at “Wicked Waste” really helped us out with palm roots in our leach drain last year.
Plumber.
Pull the pump and see what condition it is in.
Sparkie here ...would say your pumps cooked and might need replacement if it's tripping your rcd. If it's hard wired you'll need a Sparkie if it's plug and play just a swap out.
Hard to tell without looking at it.

Just a bog standard septic with a pump. I'll give them a call though, see if they can help. Thanks!
Thanks, honest tradies are always good to know.
Thanks for the info, local is really handy.
Our septic had to have a pump as the block slopes and the leach fields are a bit higher than the final sump. There's a stream not far away so environmental rules applied to the placement. It's a bit of a pain but saves grossing out the frogs.
Yeah, I think I'll leave this one to the experts. Didn't smell as bad as I expected but still don't want to poke around in there. My efforts will involve an offer of a cup of tea and a promptly paid invoice.

Easy. I'm sure they can help.
Hi all. I'm just curious if there are any America's cup fans in Perth that want to catch up to watch the racing this week. I'm relatively new to Perth so don't have any sailing friends to watch it with.
Last cup I was in my home town and hosted viewings and it was a great time.
I'm happy to host for races when I'm home and not at work.My apartment is only small so only really seating for 6-7 people IV got a big 75inch tv. If more are interested I could see if the pub could put it on the big screen.
Or alternatively if anyone knows of other place's where a group will be watching it that would work too.
Mainly a invite to those who follow the cup/ are interested. Still open to others but prefer not having to many distractions while the racing is on.
I'll grab a case and light snacks too but fill free to byo.
1st race is 8pm Thursday.
Very much looking forward to watching the preliminary regatta. Interested to see how Alinghi and the French go.
It will be interesting I'm not sure where Alinghi sits in the pecking order. I don't think the French will be dead last eaither. NZ vs Luna Rossa is my pick for the cup so looking fwd to that race. Still going to be interesting how it plays out and still very early for anything to be locked in.
I'll probably make another post tomorrow night depending on interest on what Todo for watching the race.
And Alinghi have dropped their second rig!
Dam that's misfounate , sounds like they might have the 1st 1 repaired. Surely they must know where that limit is now. Must be trying something different to have 2 failures.
I just realised how difficult it is to find a job, especially when you really want the job. I've been a manager at a cafe shop in Fremantle for over a year, I just finished studying diploma of technology at TAFE Munster campus, and I'm currently pursuing an Advance diploma Mechanical engineering. I really wanted to excel in the engineering field and demonstrate my talent and skills to engineering interns, particularly using solidworks, Autocad, and so on. I've tried sending my resume to all companies that I believe I'm qualified for the position, and most of them are searching for experience. How can I get experience if they're not going to hire me not train me. It's awful because I feel like they're going to hire and train you if you have a backup. Please help and guide me. Thank you
1. Next to no places I know of are going to take one someone with a) no experience, and b) no degree. There's 100s of graduates a year already ahead of you.
2. "Using solidworks, Autocad, and so on", is a very small part of engineering. You also say you have a basic understanding of them. Do you want to be an engineer, or a draftsman?
3. You're an international student; not many engineering places are going to hire you as an engineer.
I'm sorry to break it to you but an Advanced diploma in mechanical engineering is barely worth the paper it's written on.
Engineering degrees from ECU are even at the best of times touch and go let alone a diploma from TAFE.
My advice, if you really want to succeed, drop the diploma, get into ECU/Curtin and get an engineering degree.
My background. I was sort of in the same situation, worked restaurants throughout my undergraduate in Uni and I took the approach of needing personal experience in civil engineering. I realised I be better if I actually knew what I was designing and drafting. At age 29yr, I had to take a step back to take 2 steps forward. So, IMO maybe start mechanical tradie position to get yourself a foot in the door and network, while build personal experience?
I Graduated in 2014 and was the most difficult and challenging time to find job due to the completion of Gorgon Project. I ended up taking a job as a sales engineer for an automation machinery company. Glad i did :) the potential of earnings within this field is way more than ordinary engineer. You should take whatever job that you would be offered as long as it is relevant to your field, don't focus too much on the title.
Good luck but Mining is crashing so it will be even harder next year .. maybe try an entry level job first to get in the door then apply while you’re in .
You have to network to get a engineering job in perth as a designer/drafter.
You need to apply for traineeships or call/contact HR at companies and ask if they're willing to take a trainee on.
If you do get in and your good at your job and complete a traineeship, after a few years you'll make similar or even more then engineers. (From experience)
Ive a designer (10yrs experience) (went to tafe for 2 years) and make over 180k a year.
No one’s going to give someone that only has a TAFE qualification an engineering job. If you want to work as an engineer you need a bachelor’s degree as a minimum. Perhaps look into drafting instead? Will be hard without experience though.
