Due to the current health pandemic, precautionary restrictions have been put into place to keep our patients, staff and the wider community safe.

The Queensland Government has declared Greater Melbourne an Interstate Area of Concern from 11 May. Effective immediately we are banned from allowing anyone into our hospital if they have been in Greater Melbourne in the last 14 days, or since 11 May 2021, whichever period is shorter.

Anyone affected by these restrictions will, however, be permitted if they obtain a negative COVID-19 test result in Queensland.

The Local Government Areas included in the Greater Melbourne region are listed on the Victorian Government website: https://www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/coronavirus-covidsafe-settings.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this time
