COVID-19 Update | 27 May 2021

In order to protect the safety of all our patients, staff and visitors, St Vincent's Health Australia, St Vincent's Private Hospital and St Vincent's Clinic have strict policies in place to ensure that all patients and visitors are appropriately screened in accordance with our guidelines. 

Following updates from NSW Health all visitors must be screened at entry, including symptom check, temperature check and an exposure assessment. 

Exposure Assessment for Visitors

• Visitors that have been to Greater Melbourne (excluding airport alone) or the City of Bendigo in the last 14 days are to be excluded from the facility. 
• If visitors are visiting for compassionate reasons, a local risk assessment and approval will be required from the Infection Control Clinical Nurse Coordinator or Executive team. 

For visitors who haven't been to Greater Melbourne or the City of Bendigo in the last 14 days, normal screening processes are in place. 

Visiting hours: 11:00am - 1:00pm and 2.30pm - 8.30pm
