Permission for treatment and surgeries must be signed by each patient or by next of kin. Parents or guardians must sign for minors. For non-English speaking patients, Shellharbour Private Hospital will provide an interpreter, whenever possible.

Valuables
Shellharbour Private Hospital does not assume responsibility for loss of or damage to valuables, clothing or other personal items. We strongly advise you to leave your valuables at home. If this is impossible, you should deposit such items in the hospital's safe. If you have dentures, eyeglasses or contact lenses, please keep them in a protective container when not in use.

Medications
If you did not bring your medications taken at home, have a family member bring them as soon as possible so we can confirm their strength and dosage. We will make a list for your chart and have your nurse send them home with your family. Please do not take any of your own medications while in the hospital.
