Visiting Hours
Visitors can be good medicine for patients. Family members and friends are welcome to visit. Patient care is our primary concern at Shellharbour Private Hospital. In order to enhance the quality of care, specific visiting hours and regulations have been recommended for each ward. Our visiting hours are:

Medical and Surgical Patients 10:00 a.m.  to 12:00 p.m.
                                               3:00 p.m. to   8:00 p.m.

Rehabilitation Patients             4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
(Unfortunately there are no morning visits to our Rehab patients due to their extensive daily therapy sessions).

Visits by children are permitted, but please consider our patient's needs and safety and keep visits brief. If you need additional information, please check with the ward clerk on your arrival at the hospital.
