Visiting Randwick
Visiting hours
Visiting hours are from 10am to 8pm daily. Children under 14 years old must be accompanied by an adult.
We ask that families limit the total number of visitors to help us maintain a peaceful environment.
Some areas may have tighter limits based on your child’s medical needs. Please speak with staff if you’re unsure.
Larger groups are encouraged to make use of the hospital’s outdoor spaces or common areas within the building to gather and connect, rather than crowding the bedside if the child is clinically safe to leave the bedside.
We ask that visitors and family members not staying overnight with their child leave the ward by 8pm.
Children's Intensive Care Unit (CICU)
Parents and carers are welcome to visit their child at any time, we kindly ask that only one to two visitors attend the bedside at a time.
Visiting CICU can be overwhelming for siblings and carers. The staff caring for your child will help guide what will work best for your family.
See CICU visiting information
If visitors have a cold or another illness
Sick children pick up infections very easily. If visitors have a cold or another illness, please ask them not to visit.
If you think you have been in contact with a contagious illness, such as chicken pox or measles, please do not visit the Hospital.
If you are unsure, please phone the Hospital to get some advice.
