Visiting information
One nominated person can stay with you throughout your stay.
Siblings of the newborn can visit between 8am and 8pm.
General visiting times are 1pm to 7pm:
- Up to two adults may be at the bedside at any one time.
- Visitors under 16 are not permitted, unless they are siblings of the newborn.
Extended visiting
You may choose one nominated person to stay with you outside normal visiting hours. This may be your birth partner or another support person. Your nominated person must read the extended visiting information and sign the extended visiting agreement before staying. You can change your nominated person at any point during pregnancy, or from night to night during your ward stay. However, changes cannot be made during the night once an out‑of‑hours stay has begun. Each newly nominated person must complete and sign their own visiting agreement.
