In fact I've just remembered, several years before I fell pregnant (when I was dealing with the tail end of the trauma) I asked my GP here in SA about whether c/sections were even possible in the public hospital, and she said yes and that she would write letters etc to support my request. That would've been around 2002, so of course things might have changed since then, but a good conversation with a GP might be a good starting point. If you don't have a good GP already, I was able to find one by contacting the Women's Health Statewide clinic in Nth Adelaide, they used to keep a list of preferred female-friendly doctors so might be able to give you some recommendations over the phone.
