Send flowers to Auburn Hospital in western Sydney
A florist in Auburn makes up the bouquet and takes it to Auburn Hospital on Hargrave Road. Ring the ward before you order; the high dependency unit and a few other beds take no flowers.
Auburn Hospital is the public hospital for Auburn, Lidcombe, Granville and the Cumberland area of western Sydney, at 263 Hargrave Road, Auburn NSW 2144. It is run by the Western Sydney Local Health District, linked with Westmead Hospital, and it is a teaching hospital of the University of Notre Dame. It opened in November 1907 as the Granville Electorate Cottage Hospital and has about 155 beds today, with a 24-hour emergency department, medical and surgical wards, a high dependency and coronary care unit, paediatric surgery and a low-risk maternity unit. Around six in ten local residents were born overseas, and the hospital is used to families who are spread across the world sending flowers to a bedside they cannot reach.
The maternity ward has its own visiting hours
Auburn's maternity ward is on level 3 and publishes visiting hours of 8am to 4:30pm, seven days a week, earlier than most wards. That is a good fit for florists, who deliver during the day, but it also means a bouquet ordered late in the afternoon may not reach the ward until the next morning. For a new baby choose a small arrangement that sits beside the cot and goes home in the car; a card with the baby's name is kept, a tall vase is left behind.
Wards that do not take flowers
The hospital has no published flower policy that we can quote, so the general rule for New South Wales public hospitals applies: the high dependency and coronary care unit refuses fresh flowers, and some medical beds ask for low-pollen stems because of other patients in the bay. Ring the ward before you order, confirm the patient is still admitted, and ask where the florist should leave the flowers if the ward is busy; usually that is the main reception off Hargrave Road.
Local searches: florist Auburn and sympathy flowers to Auburn
Many people reach this page looking for a florist in Auburn rather than the hospital itself. The same local florist who delivers to the hospital also delivers to homes, businesses and places of worship across Auburn, Lidcombe, Berala, Regents Park, Granville and Silverwater, including sympathy flowers to a family home after a death at the hospital. For sympathy flowers to a home, there is no cut-off anxiety: send them the day you hear, or a week later when the house has gone quiet.
Order details, timing and price
Write the patient's full name, the ward and the hospital name, and add the word "patient". Order before 2pm on a weekday or 10am on a Saturday, Sydney time, for a same-day attempt Monday to Saturday; there is no Sunday delivery. Same day is never guaranteed at a hospital because the ward decides when flowers come up, so order in the morning if it matters. Bouquets start at around AUD 75, the delivery fee is shown at checkout and a card message is included. If discharge is close, the home address is the kinder destination and the flowers last the week.

Frequently asked questions about flowers to Auburn Hospital
Can I send flowers to Auburn Hospital?
Yes, to the medical, surgical and maternity wards in most cases. Ring the ward first, because the high dependency and coronary care unit refuses fresh flowers and some beds ask for low-pollen stems. Give the patient's full name and the ward, and the florist delivers to the ward or to the main reception at 263 Hargrave Road.
When should flowers for the maternity ward arrive?
Within the maternity ward's visiting hours, which run from 8am to 4:30pm seven days a week on level 3. Order in the morning so the florist reaches the ward before it closes to visitors. Choose a small arrangement that sits beside the cot and travels home easily, and keep the scent low for the baby.
Do you also deliver sympathy flowers to homes in Auburn?
Yes. The same florist who delivers to the hospital covers homes, workplaces and places of worship across Auburn, Lidcombe, Berala, Regents Park, Granville and Silverwater. For a bereaved family a bouquet to the home can be sent the day you hear the news or some weeks later; there is no deadline on sympathy flowers.
