I recently asked a few of the private hospitals that question, and either a) you would pay the package price and leave early (no discount), or b) you can pay a non-package price (ie pay for everything individually, but this may actually end up being more expensive even if you stay a night or two less).
This was Matilda's reply:
"Patient can ask their Doctor for an early discharge from hospital following delivery. As long as the Obstetrician and Paediatrician are happy to discharge both mum and baby, then they can leave after assessment and discharge by the doctors.
With regard to charges, patient still pay the package price (as we only accept package booking), but if patient have booked a private room they will get only one night for not used reimbursed. "
I can't find the responses from Adventist or Canossa, but they were quite similar...
