Description
The Maternity Ward sign directs staff, visitors, and patients to obstetric and postnatal departments using a clear, recognisable pictogram. Sized at 600×125 mm, it's suited to corridor walls, ward entrances, and facility directories in hospitals and birthing centres. Polypropylene 1.6 mm is standard for interior walls and doors; colorbond 0.55 mm suits damp or high-traffic environments. Both accept mounting holes and lamination for extended durability. Platinum Signs delivers to trade organisations Australia-wide within 5–7 working days, with bulk discounts available.
Final sign type, wording, size, placement and material depend on the site risk, project specification and applicable jurisdiction. Confirm the requirement with the relevant WHS adviser or regulator.

Frequently asked
Is this sign compliant with AS 1319 or AS 1428?
This is an information sign for wayfinding, not a hazard or warning sign. The pictogram follows ISO 7001 and AS 1428 accessibility conventions for sizing and clarity.
Should I choose colorbond if the ward entrance is near a shower or bathroom area?
Yes. Colorbond is moisture-resistant and better suited to humid or damp zones. Polypropylene is adequate indoors away from direct water exposure.
Can you supply matching signs for related departments (e.g. Neonatal, Labour Suite)?
Absolutely. We stock a full range of hospital wayfinding signs. Place multiple items in one order for coordinated delivery and bulk pricing.
What hole size and spacing do you recommend for wall mounting?
Standard 4.5 mm holes at 50 mm from each corner work for most installations. Specify your preferred spacing at checkout, or contact sales for site-specific advice.
Do you offer lamination with a matte or gloss finish?
Standard lamination is gloss. Matte finishes are available on request for bulk orders; confirm at the time of inquiry for lead time and cost.
