We welcome visitors. They improve a patient’s recovery and the communication between patients, families and staff.

Are you planning to visit the Royal Melbourne Hospital?

Visitors are no longer required to check in at the RMH Parkville hospital entrances.

You should not enter the hospital if you are unwell, have COVID-19 or are a COVID-19 contact. 

All visitors must wear a surgical mask or an N95 mask, as preferred. Visitors with a mask exemption must wear a face shield.

In some high-risk areas, such as the Emergency Department, N95 masks must be worn by visitors and patients. Visitors must also wear N95 masks in 7B, 5 West Day Medical and 6SW. Other wards may also require visitors to wear N95 masks.
