For Patients: Your Admission

Your Admission

On admission, present to the reception desk and after completing Admission details, you will be shown to your room by the Admissions Officer who will also provide you with an orientation of the hospital and explain routines relevant to your treatment, safety and security.

New Farm Clinic offers a high standard of accommodation with both private and shared rooms. All rooms have ensuite facilities. While we will make every endeavour to provide your accommodation preference, clinical needs will determine the accommodation you are allocated.
