Visitors
Visitors to KDH will not be granted access to the hospital or Aged Care facilities during the lockdown period except on compassionate grounds for palliative and end of life care, the partner or support person of a maternity patient or parent of a child under 18 years old.
Maternity
Maternity patients presenting to labour ward or post labour can have one partner or support person with them.
For patients who have ante-natal appointments during the lockdown period, these appointments will continue, however, some may be moved to telehealth or phone calls. If your appointment will need to change, you will be contacted by one of our staff members as soon as possible.
Theatre and Outpatients
At this point in time, we are working through our scheduled Theatre lists and outpatient appointments over the lockdown period. We will update patients with further information as soon as possible.
