Visitor Policy
To assist with our requirements to maintain physical distance, it is important we minimise the number of people in our hospital.
Visitors will not be permitted in the day stay area.
Visitors to patients in the ward will be limited to 1 or 2 per patient at all times.
We recommend patients only ask their partner, spouse, close family or a nominated friend to visit whilst you are in hospital.
