Asylum seeker baby Asha will stay at Brisbane's Lady Cilento Children's Hospital for at least another night, Queensland Health has confirmed.

The department made the statement via Twitter just after 6.30pm as hundreds of supporters remained outside the hospital.

The crowd had gathered after fears rose that baby Asha would be taken from the hospital in preparation for being sent to immigration detention on Nauru.

In Sydney today protesters interrupted a speech by federal Labor leader Bill Shorten, calling for baby Asha and other asylum seekers to be allowed to stay in Australia.
