Bendigo Health has restricted visitors look after the welfare of our patients and staff during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Two visitors will be allowed per inpatient. Visiting hours will also be reduced each day to between 2-3pm and 7-8pm.

For outpatient services and appointments, the restriction will be one visitor accompanying a patient. This includes John Lindell Rehabilitation Unit, Cancer Centre, Clinics and Day of Surgery Admissions.

In Women’s and Children’s Services please speak with your care staff.

It is part of a progressive plan to reduce community contact in a bid to lower the risk of COVID-19 spreading in our community. Further visitor restrictions may be announced in due course.
