As a part of our coronavirus (COVID-19) management plans and advice from authorities, we are undertaking a number of precautions to help keep people within our hospitals and facilities safe from harm.

We ask that you limit the number of visitors to two designated visitors for the duration of your stay. Only one visitor is allowed to visit at a time and the patient’s dependent children are allowed to accompany these visitors.
All visitors must present to Reception for screening on entry and cannot visit if they:
- in the last 14 days visited confirmed COVID-19 case locations in NSW, South Australia or New Zealand.
- have recently come into contact with a person who has a confirmed case of coronavirus;
- are feeling unwell.
Visiting hours are as follows:

- Weekends from 12.00pm to 4.00pm
Please read our latest advice about what to do if you have an upcoming admission or want to visit someone in hospital.
