Visiting hours

You cannot visit if you have been diagnosed with COVID-19.

Visitors to our hospitals no longer need to be vaccinated against COVID-19 or check-in on arrival. Masks are still required so, please remember to bring your mask when visiting our facilities.

Visitor restrictions are still in place for COVID-positive patients. There are also some restrictions in place for international arrivals, COVID-19 positive people, and close contacts. Our aged care residents are some of our most vulnerable community members and the visitor restrictions continue for those facilities and disability accommodation services.

Some critical care areas may have specific restrictions, including limiting visitor numbers.
