Matilda is committed to providing personalised health and wellness to every patient. Our patients have rights and responsibilities regardless of gender, language, ethnicity, religion, physical condition or socioeconomic status. We also recognise the rights of the child to receive healthcare at the hospital.

The relationship between medical personnel and patients is one that is close, interdependent and about trust.

Visiting Friends and Relatives at Matilda International Hospital

Visitor times are not restricted for patients staying in private rooms, although we ask that you consider the patient's need for personal time. For our patients in shared occupancy rooms, visiting time is between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m. daily. We allow only two visitors per patient at a time to minimise disturbance and ensure they get adequate rest to aid their recovery.

Our staff will respectfully ask visitors to leave if they overstay their visit time and may ask them to step out for a moment should one of the patients require special care and/or attention during the visit. There is a lobby area on the 2nd floor if the patient prefers to greet visitors outside the shared room.

Children other than the patient's own who are under 12 years old, babies or any child with a fever and/or rash are advised not to visit patients. 

We request that visitors check with our staff on arrival to ensure it is an appropriate time to visit. We encourage all visitors to wear masks and perform hand hygiene before entering patient rooms. If you encounter a message on the door of a room asking to check with the staff, please proceed to the nearest nursing station to receive further instructions before entering the room.
