Scott Morrison took wife Brenda to the hospital about 10.20pm on Tuesday when she was in the final stages of labour.

When they arrived at the hospital with the baby already crowning all the parking spaces near the entrance were full, “which meant I would have had to park on the dirt section towards the showground,” Mr Morrison said.

Realising his wife needed immediate medical attention and help to get into the hospital Mr Morrison took the only space available near the door - in the ambulance bay.

“I just thought ‘I’ve got to get this girl into hospital now’,” Mr Morrison explained.

“The logical thing to do was to park near the door because she needed to be stretchered in.”

Once at the door Mr Morrison had trouble getting the receptionist’s attention, until his wife placed her hand on the car’s horn.

The receptionist responded by telling Mr Morrison she would not open the doors for him or his wife until he moved his car.

While Mr Morrison had called the hospital earlier in the night warning his wife was about to give birth the receptionist refused to budge even when told the baby’s head was crowning.

“All I knew was I had a wife in a lot of pain with a baby about to be born,” Mr Morrison said.

He revealed his wife was “panicking a bit because she wanted to get in to where she knew she’d be safe, and where a delivered baby would be safe”.

With his wife getting more agitated Mr Morrison moved his car - to right outside the emergency department’s doors, which prompted the receptionist to fetch a wardsman from the emergency department.

“As soon as he came out we had doctors and nurses everywhere,” Mr Morrison said.

However, he was concerned it took about 10 minutes to get into the hospital from the time he and his wife arrived.

Once Mrs Morrison was admitted it took just minutes for baby Charlotte Grace to be born at 10.49pm.
