Im on a wait list for a private hosiptal at the moment my OB said that the worst case is that i deliver in a public hospital as a private patient. But this does mean that if this happened at the Royal Womens in Melb, the best i would get is a room i can share with 1 other and the worst case would be a ward of 4 women. So no private room, even though you are a private patient. Not sure if its different at other hospitals.
