If you go public I'd suggest Sutherland as opposed to st George. Have had friend who had babies at both and the experiences of those at Sutherland just seemed better than my friend who had babies at st George.
If you want to go private. I cannot recommend st george private highly enough. They were fantastic and I loved my ob. If you want more info just pm me

By widwife-led care I mean you see midwives for you antenatal care. Hopefully you'll see the same midwives again for the birth (in contrast, even if you ahve your own OB they aren't generally there for the labour) and then for your postnatal care as well.

Really!? I had no idea it was meant to work like this...I never saw the same Dr or midwife once with my 1st pregnancy!

That's why I inserted "hopefully" in there. sometimes it works out. At birth centres and some hospitals they do make the effort to maintain some continuity of care.

Oh no offense intended...it was more a comment on my general ignorance!

Not all pregnancies *need* an OB...most don't and get on 100% fine with midwife care right through...consider this before making the public/private choice, becuase with private you are paying for an OB whether you need/want one or not.
You can also go shared care with a GP if you have a healthy, low risk pregnancy - which is where you don't see your hospital team until 36 weeks. It's my favourite public option, esp if you have a good relationship with your GP.
You can also go an IM for a homebirth if you're considering one.
