Nipple cream, cell phone, charger, camera, slippers, and I always bring my own pillow because I don't like the hospital's.

Oh And If You Have A Cell phone Don't Forget Your Charger

If You Have  Someone Going With You Pack A Bag For Them... They Often Don't Remember And Then Have No Clothes.

Im 37 and a half weeks and still havent packed my bag lol. Im in qld australia too, qld hospitals no longer provide anything for the baby i know thats the case with redcliffe anyway. I wouldnt worry bout shamp and cond as they suggest only to use water for first week or so. In my baby bag ive also put in a dummy cause im going in for a c section it can help hold him off until i get out of recovery to feed him cause i am refusing to use any type of bottle this time around i want to 100% breastfeed.

Thanks ladies. I haven't been given a hospital pack - im pretty sure that the public hospital I'm going to you have to supply everything yourself but I'll double check at my next appointment :)

I'm in west aus, I wouldn't worry about the baby shampoo, and often times the hospital supply the baby clothes, nappies and wipes etc while your there. Have you done your hospital book in yet? Usually they give you a list of what to take, it will differ from hospital to hospital due to what they supply.
My hospital check list recommended 4 packets of maternity pads, 8 pairs of old underwear, lip balm and lollies, body wash/soap, and I'm going public. This was for a 2/3 night stay. And pretty much everything else on your list.

If you plan on breastfeeding then maybe some nipple cream
