For visitors / carers
We understand that the birth of a baby is an exciting time for families. Carers and partners are very much included in the journey, and your midwife is here to support you through the experience. For family members or friends who might like to visit after the baby is born, you are very welcome to visit – please just ensure you’re aware of visiting hours and up-to-date with COVID rules.
Yes, one support person is welcome to stay overnight.
Your partner or primary support person is able to stay with you for the duration of your stay. Please ask your midwife if you’d like to have other visitors.
Visiting hours at Maryborough Hospital are 10.00am – 4.00pm, seven days a week. Partners or the support person of patients in the maternity ward may visit outside these hours.
COVID-19 regulations can change. Please ensure you stay up-to-date with restrictions. Your midwife, ward clerk and other team members can explain them to you.
