History
The RHW began life in 1820 as a 'lying-in' hospital under auspices of the Benevolent Society. Elizabeth Macquarie, wife of the then Governor of New South Wales Lachlan Macquarie chaired a committee of the Society to establish the hospital.
By 1888 the RHW (then known as the Benevolent Society Asylum) became affiliated to the University of Sydney as a training hospital. Between 1901 and 1997 the hospital operated from its site in Paddington, New South Wales before moving to Randwick. In 1904 the hospital was granted royal patronage by King Edward VII and became the Royal Hospital for Women.

The RHW forms a part of the South Eastern Sydney and Illawarra Area Health Service and is assisted by the fundraising efforts of the Royal Hospital for Women Foundation.
