Update to visitor restrictions (14 July)
The Queensland Health restrictions on hospital visitors have been eased, with the risk of COVID-19 being balanced against the needs of patients.
Up to two visitors can visit a patient in hospital at any one time, for any length of time, within visiting hours. Children of any age can now also visit, however they will be counted as one of the visitors.
For the continued safety of our vulnerable patients, only one visitor or support person is allowed at Mater Cancer Care Centre.
More than two visitors continue to be allowed to provide end-of-life support to a patient.
The following restrictions still also apply at all facilities.You cannot visit (unless you are a patient), if:
- you have been diagnosed with COVID-19
- you have been in Victoria or greater Sydney area in the last 14 days
- you have returned from overseas in the last 14 days
- you have had contact with a person with COVID-19 in the last 14 days
- you have been asked to self-quarantine
- you have a fever (37.5 degrees or more) or a cough, runny nose, sore throat or breathing difficulties.
Routine health screening remains in place at the entrance to all Mater hospitals before patients and visitors may enter and you will be required to sign.
