Norwest Private Hospital’s general visiting hours are 10:00am–12:00pm and 3:00pm–8:00pm, applying hospital-wide including ICU and the Maternity ward[1]. Some sources note slight variations: general medical and surgical wards may be visited from 10:00am–12:30pm and 2:30pm–8:00pm, while maternity ward visiting hours are specifically from 3:00pm–4:30pm and 6:30pm–8:00pm[2][3]. Please be aware that restrictions may apply in certain areas, particularly the ICU and maternity wards, depending on doctors’ or nurse managers’ discretion[2].
All permitted visitors must meet these requirements:
- Have had at least two doses of a recognised COVID vaccine (unless medically exempt)
- Not have tested positive to COVID-19 within the last 7 days
- Not be a high-risk contact of someone with COVID-19 in the previous 14 days
- Have no COVID-19 symptoms
Children must be supervised at all times while visiting the hospital, and noise levels should be kept to a minimum[2].
It is recommended to check with the hospital or the ward before visiting, as visiting policies may change or be limited in some circumstances. Day Surgery Unit does not permit visitors[3].
