Visiting areas

Visitors must report to the staff station on arrival.

If you are visiting a patient in twin share accommodation, visits are to be conducted in common areas. In consideration of all patients and visitors, please be mindful of noise levels when using our common areas.

Group programs

All patients admitted to hospital agree to attend our group programs, therefore visits during program times are not allowed. As this is a contractual agreement, non-attendance is permitted only under exceptional circumstances, and with authorisation from the patient's treating Psychiatrist.

Children

Children are welcome at Currumbin Clinic but must be supervised by an adult at all times.
