Visitation and RAC update

January 20, 2021

VISITATION UPDATE

With Victoria’s great run of no locally acquired cases of coronavirus continuing, we are able to ease our visitor restrictions again. Patients will now be able to have two visitors per day, between the hours of 12pm-8pm. Women on maternity wards are permitted one support person for an unlimited time between 8am-8pm, while patients under the age of 18 are permitted two visitors for an unlimited time. Otherwise, visitor restrictions remain in place to ensure physical distancing is maintained and risk of COVID-19 transmission is minimised.
