Visiting
Although there aren’t any public health directions for visitors, we still need to keep our children safe. We may ask you to wear a mask in some areas of the hospital or limit the number of people visiting. Check the latest advice on the Queensland Health website before you visit.
If you're the parent or carer of a child, you can visit anytime of the day or night. You're welcome to spend as much time with your child as possible. Visiting hours for other family members and friends are between 10 am and 8 pm.

Patients going to hospital
If you or your child is going to hospital, you probably have a lot of questions. What should I bring? What care and support services are there? How do we prepare for an operation?
Helping your child with medical procedures
Coming to hospital and having medical procedures can sometimes be frightening and overwhelming. At Children’s Health Queensland, we want every child to feel confident, comfortable and positive about their hospital and healthcare experiences. That’s why we’ve created the CALM promise, a person-centred approach to help guide the way we work with children and young people to minimise distress and discomfort during medical procedures.
