During your stay

Once you're admitted, your medications will be managed by the nursing team. If you have had surgery, it is important you get regular and timely pain relief.

If you do not feel like your pain is being controlled, please speak to your nurse, as we want to ensure you are as pain-free as possible.

All rooms for overnight patients have a simple to use computer (known as a ‘cockpit’) which includes internet, telephone and television access, patient information, meal ordering and many other features.

Our team of expert chefs prepare five-star-rated healthy meals every day, under the guidance of a dietitian and our executive chef.

If you are staying overnight, you can order all your meals using the cockpit in your room. The cockpit will show you the menu for the day, including photos, and meal options for people with special dietary requirements.

There are a number of comfortable lounge areas around the hospital that patients and visitors can use. If you want a change of scene from your room, the lounge area on Level 3 opens onto a large outdoor courtyard.

Smoking is not permitted within the hospital or clinic grounds.

As a health service, we're committed to promoting good health. As a result, the hospital and clinics are smoke free environments.

Please note that our student doctors may be involved in your care.  They are part of Australia’s first university-led fully integrated health precinct – MQ Health. The hospital and clinics provide a unique setting for training the next generation of doctors.
