Visitor restrictions are in place at Cabrini, as part of our response to COVID-19.

Inpatients at Cabrini’s hospitals and palliative care facility can have two visitors per day, for up to two hours.

These visitors can be of any age, including under 16. The two visitors may attend together, for up two hours, or separately for a total of two hours.

Visiting hours are between 10.00 am – 8.00 pm (visitors are permitted before this time if they are collecting a patient who is being discharged).

Patients attending an outpatient appointment may have one support person accompany them.

Exceptions to our visitor policy include:

  • Paediatric patients
  • Patients who require assistance with communication, wayfinding, mobility, personal care or behaviour management
  • Patients with a complex disability
  • Patients with a life-threatening medical condition
  • Patients who are dying and/or receiving end of life care
  • Maternity patients

These exceptions will be managed on a case-by-case basis, by nurse managers and nurse directors.

We understand these restrictions may be difficult, but we are asking for your ongoing support as we work through this together.

Screening processes

Cabrini is following all Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) guidelines for screening patients and visitors across our sites.

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.

Visitors must also comply with the density and social distancing guidelines in shared or publicly accessible places.
