Welcoming visitors to the AYAH
When family and friends come to visit We welcome your visitors to the AYAH. All visitors are required to identify themselves by registering at reception. Please use discretion regarding the number of visitors and the times at which people come and go. If you wish to have large groups visiting, please inform staff prior to making arrangements.
We do not have strict visiting hours and understand that there may be circumstances in which visitors arrive after standard business hours. However, please liaise with the NUM or Nurse in Charge if visiting outside our regular hours of 8am to 8pm. As part of our fire safety requirements, all family members should please sign in and out at the reception desk when leaving or returning to the AYAH. Nursing staff must also be informed of any visitors.
We recognise your visitors may wish to have a look around the AYAH, however, please consider the privacy of other guests and consult with staff members before touring visitors. Tea and coffee are available for your use in the dining room on the Ground Floor and Lounge Room on Level 1.
