COVID-19 Visiting Hours - 

 

With the current Victorian outbreak and metropolitan Melbourne and Mitchell Shire in lockdown, the following visitor restrictions will be in place until further notice.

 

Main hospital - 

• No visitors, except of palliative/end of life as discussed with the Nurse Unit Manager prior (no more than two people)

• Parent/Guardian may accompany a person under 18 years of age

​

Maternity - 

• One support person can be present during the birth and post-birth as discussed with the Nurse Unit Manager (the support person must be the same person throughout, no other visitors). 

​

Aged Care - 

• No visitors, except for palliative/end of life as discussed with the Nurse Unit Manager 

​

Outpatients –

Anyone presenting to the Outpatients Building will be required to sign in upon arrival and must wear a mask at all times.

​

Checking In –

When you enter any of the buildings here at KDH you will see we are now operating a two-step check in process.

 

Step 1 is to complete the Service Victoria QR Code. This is to assist the Department of Health with contact tracing in the event of an outbreak. This is the QR code used at every business/workplace in Victoria.

 

Step 2 is to complete the Attestation Screening QR code. This is to ensure it is safe for you to enter our Health Service.

 

It is essential that all staff, patients and visitors complete both QR codes on entry into KDH as they help us stop the spread of COVID-19 and are legal requirements across all Health Services in Victoria.

 

If you don't have a mobile phone that can support you to check in we have a paper register that our screening staff can assist you to complete.

 

Thank you for showing our screening staff support and kindness on entry to our Health Service.
