Visiting Hours
All visitors are asked to observe visiting hours and respect the privacy of our patients.
Visiting hours of the hospital have changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Currently visiting hours are:
- Monday to Friday: 3.30pm to 7.30pm
- Saturday and Sunday: 1.30pm to 5.30pm
- Public holidays: 1.30pm to 5.30pm
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.
