General information on visiting Mater patients
Mater recommend patients limit the number of visitors they receive, to ensure the patient receives adequate rest. Visitors are also encouraged to telephone ahead to schedule a time with the patient out of courtesy.
Please note that patients participate in a rest period every day, and visitors are not permitted to visit the wards during this time—with the exception of partners or nominated support people. Please note that telephone calls are also diverted to staff during this time.
