Visiting Hours
All visitors are asked to observe visiting hours and respect the privacy of our patients.
Visitor restrictions have been lifted, effective 15 May 2021.
- Face masks are no longer mandatory
- Restrictions on visitor limits for hospitals have been lifted, however, the total number of visitors in a patient room must be in accordance with physical distancing requirements – so visitors still need to adhere to the 1.5 metre rule. If this is not possible then a face mask should be worn.
Current onsite visiting hours are between 6pm - 8pm daily.
Offsite leave and visiting, outside of therapy hours, can be scheduled with the health team as part of care delivery and discharge planning.
If you need to arrange a visit outside of these times, please contact the Clinical Nurse to negotiate alternative visiting hours.
Visiting Areas
Visitors must report to the nurses station on arrival.
In consideration of all patients and visitors, please be mindful of noise levels when using our common areas.
Group Programs
All patients admitted to hospital agree to attend our group programs, therefore visits during program times are not allowed. As this is a contractual agreement, non-attendance is permitted only under exceptional circumstances, and with authorisation from the patient's treating Psychiatrist.
Children
Children are welcome at Abbotsford Private Hospital but must be supervised by an adult at all times. There is also a park and playground opposite the hospital.
Staying Healthy
We understand that you want to visit your family member or friend. But please do not visit if you feel unwell, have a cold, have been vomiting or had diarrhoea. Your decision to not visit helps us to keep everyone healthy.
