When you are in hospital, every day you or your carers can choose what you will eat from an electronic menu.
A food services staff member visits each patient to take their order on a tablet, or patients can order their own meals using our menu ordering app.
Meals we provide
We provide six meals and snacks a day, at approximately the following times:
- Breakfast - 7.00 to 8.30am
- Morning tea - 10.00 to 10.50am
- Lunch - 11.30 to 1.00pm
- Afternoon tea - 2.00 to 2.30pm (Royal Park only)
- Dinner - 4.30 to 6.00pm
- Supper - 7.15 to 8.00pm

Your food preferences
All food in the food ordering system has been checked by a dietitian. This ensures you are only offered choices that meet your nutritional requirements and food preferences.
Let your nurse know if you have any special food requirements. Our meal ordering system tailors food choices to you to help you in your treatment and recovery.
Bringing food from home
If you would like to bring in food prepared at home for a patient, it is important that you speak to the ward nurse, dietitian or speech pathologist first. Food from home may not always be suitable for a person’s medical condition, increased risk of infection or swallowing problems.
Ensure that the food is prepared, stored and transported in a safe and hygienic manner.
