Coming to Hospital

What's changed recently:

• From Thursday, 20 January there will be a change to visitor restrictions at public hospitals across Queensland. There is now a maximum of two visitors permitted for each patient in most patient settings, with tighter restrictions in areas such as the Emergency Department and post-operative ward. This will not restrict access to health care for anyone; everyone will have access to care or treatment regardless of their vaccination status. Anyone making healthcare decisions for a patient, for example a parent or carer, will also be permitted to accompany them. For more information, visit: https://bit.ly/currenthospitalrestrictions
• From December 17 anyone visiting a public healthcare facility will need to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Present proof of vaccination by downloading your vaccination certificate onto the Check In Qld app, bringing your COVID vaccination card or printing a copy from your MyGov account. This does not apply to patients. Some exemptions may apply.

Whether you’re an emergency patient, visiting us for an appointment, staying overnight or having a baby, you will need to know what to expect, what to bring and where you can get further information.

In an emergency you should always call 000.
