Visitor restrictions are in place at Cabrini as part of our response to COVID-19.
Patients and residents can currently have one visitor each day, for up to one hour.

Visiting hours are between 10.00 am – 8.00 pm (unless collecting a patient who is being discharged).

Cabrini is following all DHHS guidelines for screening patients and visitors across our sites, including additional screening in response to new exposure sites in Victoria.
Visitors may be required to line up at our entrances, to allow screening measures to take place. We appreciate your understanding as we work through these processes to keep our patients, staff and community safe.
All visitors need to adhere to Cabrini’s screening processes and infection control requirements, including providing details for contact tracing purposes, temperature screening, wearing a single-use mask and social distancing.
Visitors to Cabrini will have their temperature taken and be asked to sign-in, either via an iPad device or with one of our patient services staff. Visitors will need to wear a sticker while onsite, to show they have signed in.
If you are attending Cabrini regularly, you may like to download the Sine Pro app on your mobile device, so you can sign in more efficiently. You can find instructions about this here.
