What Can I Bring?

Useful information on what you can and cannot bring into hospital.

Food

Unfortunately Currumbin Clinic does not have the facilities to accommodate the provision of visitors' meals.

If you bring food into hospital, it must be in accordance with our strict infection control guidelines for food safety. All food that needs refrigeration must be labelled with the patient’s name, date and time and provided to our Hotel Services staff. All potentially hazardous food items must be consumed within 24 hours, or it will be discarded daily at 9:00am.

Medication

All prescriptions, prescribed and over-the-counter medications including paracetamol, vitamins and oral contraceptives must be given to Nursing staff on admission to hospital. If a patient asks you to bring in medication, please speak to Nursing staff.

Flowers and gifts

Please consider the following, so that the safety of our patients is not compromised. If you are unsure, please phone the hospital in advance to ensure your gift is not refused.

Flowers

Flowers must not have any materials that may put patients at risk such as wire. We have vases for patient use.

Gift boxes

Please consider our infection control guidelines for food safety, as well as patient wellbeing when purchasing gift boxes.
