After Hours and Holiday Cover

I am on call for you 24 hours a day during the week and I always strive to be present for the birth of your baby. However, it is not possible to be on call all day every day of the year! No obstetrician can give a 100% guarantee of being present at the birth, although last year I attended 99% of births. I generally take one weekend or one long weekend off per month.

If I plan to be on leave I will arrange cover with another specialist obstetrician, either Dr Bobby Teoh, Dr Stephen Coogan, Dr Wendy Hawke, or Dr Jason Chow who will take excellent care of you. Dr Sarah Lyons has also joined our group, and is currently on maternity leave.

I try to book holidays well in advance, so that I can notify you of planned leave during your pregnancy. I take 4-6 weeks annual leave each year. In 2025 I have planned leave from 6 February to 1 March, 24 July to 15 August and 18 December to 8 January. I also take time to attend courses and conferences that keep me up-to-date with all the latest developments and evidence-based best practice.

I have at least one emergency slot available every day in case you need to be seen urgently, so
please ring my rooms to make an appointment.

Dr Rahul Sen ~ Being at the Birth. Dr Rahul Sen explains how committed he is to being at the birth of your baby – from travelling by ferry in the moonlight to driving from the Blue Mountains in the middle of the night to reach the birth on time. Dr Sen also highlights the specialist team of obstetricians he works with who are on-call for you when Dr Sen can’t be.

I understand that your partner and family members are concerned for your welfare and may want to talk to me, but I only discuss your condition or results with you. Please note that I do not conduct consultations or discuss results by telephone.

If you experience constant, severe pain, bleeding, reduced fetal movements or signs of labour then please ring the delivery suite of the hospital at which you are booked.

Fees

It is a Government requirement that you receive informed financial consent.  You should have received a schedule of my fees and an acceptance form for you to sign and bring back.

When you are admitted to hospital most of your fees, including tests and medications, may be covered by your health fund, depending on what type of cover you have.  Please check these costs with your fund prior to booking into the hospital.  Please also check that your baby will be covered in the event of an admission to the neonatal nursery.

Australian health funds do not cover any costs incurred prior to admission to hospital, and do not provide any rebate for the planning and management fee.

Please let me know if you do not have full obstetric cover with an Australian private health insurer or if you are not covered by Medicare, as this will affect your schedule of fees.

Please note that electronic funds transfer is the preferred method of payment of fees. All credit
card payments are subject to a fee of 1.5% to cover bank fees.
