Grafton is a historic regional city on the Clarence River in northern New South Wales, about 600 kilometres north of Sydney. Famous for its jacaranda-lined streets and annual Jacaranda Festival, Grafton serves as the main service centre for the Clarence Valley region. It's a close-knit community with a relaxed country atmosphere and a growing young family population.
Maternity and Pregnancy Services
Grafton Base Hospital is the primary maternity facility for the region, offering birthing suites, midwifery care, and postnatal support. The hospital provides a public maternity service and works closely with local GPs who offer shared antenatal care. For higher-risk pregnancies or specialist neonatal care, referrals are typically made to hospitals in Coffs Harbour or Lismore.
The town supports a small but dedicated network of maternity services, including midwives, lactation consultants, and antenatal educators. Several local GPs have a special interest in obstetrics and women's health.
Getting Around
Grafton is well-connected by the Pacific Highway, which links it to Coffs Harbour (about an hour south) and the broader Northern Rivers region. The town has a regional airport with limited services. Local transport is primarily car-based, as is typical for regional NSW, but the town is compact and easy to navigate.
