Launceston General Hospital (LGH) 274-280 Charles Street, Launceston, Tasmania 7250

"Please do not have a baby here, I recommend Hobart or Burnie. Understaffed, dry blood in the delivery room I asked for it to be cleaned, blood taken- forgotten - left on shelf then had to retry for bloods ( hard with my veins), did not read my pre baby requests…. Did not follow my instructions as requested, food isn’t suitable for diabetics, incorrect meds given, ladies baby dropped in the other room from nurse, EXTREMELY understaffed, I requested to leave hospital after birth as I felt extremely unsafe. Before baby I was lost in the file and not given any information for upcoming baby or post baby of care. No bathing shown or changing boot etc … you’re left on your own. My belongings stolen so requested to have a night stay alone as I was so stressed …. $600 for one night. Fans zip tied and with a fever I was given paper wet towel which was not suitable or helpful with the fever. The list goes on. I developed ptsd diagnosed via a psychologist. Please for the saftey of yourself and baby do not go here."

"Ah, back for my second visit! The first a busted shoulder the second a busted appendix on both occasions everyone was tremendously helpful in all manner departments from ED to CT to Theatre to on being the wards. A huge thanks to you all that put me back together so I could make it back again!"

"I had an Angiogram yesterday 5/July/2023. All the nursing staff in the Cardiology Department were awesome. From the lead up phone calls I recieved prior to appointment date right through to prep and completion of the procedure on the day. A few laughs were had as well. The after care nurses in day procedures recovery ward were also awesome. I'm not a fan of hospital visits, I've had my share, but this one was memorable. Thanks heaps."

"I was a patient at L.G.H recently. The doctors, nurses through to the meal delivers and cup of tea girls were fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble for any of them..My only complaint was at handover time. I was in a 4 bed ward no complaints about that at all I didn't agree with handover at shift change being conducted within earshot of the other patients in the room Privacy and dignity did not exist. Why can't this be done at the nurse's station."

"This place is a joke! 6 yr old daughter got attacked by a dog, cuts everywhere! She was taken up by an ambulance... guess what? Got told to sit in the waiting room! 2 hours have passed and are still sitting in the waiting room. Will update and let you all know what time we get in. Unbelievable. We'll my daughter finally got seen another 30 minutes later. But what an amazing doctor, Dr Adam! reminded me of the talk show host, James corden. And what an amazing nurse (george) lady nurse. Insisted I called her George. 2 great people. I'm not sure what time the hospital can do to reduce the waiting time? Maybe have a kids only section?"
