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.
In the interests of our patients, staff and doctors, visiting hours are currently:
MONDAY - FRIDAY: 3:30PM - 6:00PM
SATURDAY & SUNDAY: 2:00PM - 4:00PM
Visitors and carers are encouraged to visit their loved ones during their admission to hospital.
We ask that you refrain from visiting family members, friends and acquaintances during therapy times. Visits at these times can disrupt their participation in the therapy programs.
You are expected to report to reception staff (during the business hours) and nursing staff (after hours) and sign the visitors book on arrival and on departure.
Please contact the ward to arrange visits outside normal visiting hours. It is expected that visitors will refrain from any contact with other patients and maintain full confidentiality.
Marian Centre reserves the right to restrict access to patients. All visitors require approval for access by the patient.
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 the Marian Centre but must be supervised by an adult at all times.
