Click on the links below to find out more about the different services and facilities available to you during your stay at Macquarie University Hospital.

Macquarie University Hospital has four wards, each with 27 rooms. Most are single rooms, apart from four double rooms on each ward.

All rooms for overnight patients have a system know as a 'cockpit' . This simple-to-use computer has a number of features including:

• Patient entertainment, including television and movies on demand
• Internet access
• Telephone (free local calls and skype)
• Call button for your nurse
• Meal ordering
• Medical records – your health care team can see and update your medical record on the cockpit.

Admission staff will offer you a charge card to cover the cost of the patient entertainment system and telephone, if you have opted to use it.  Please note this does not apply for patients in the day surgery unit.

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, which 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 utilise. If you want a change of scene from your room, the lounge area on level 3 opens onto a large outdoor courtyard.

There is a café and a pharmacy on the ground floor. Newspapers, magazines, flowers and gifts can be purchased from these outlets. An automatic teller machine is located at the entrance to the pharmacy and café on the ground floor.

Macquarie University Hospital is committed to good health and as a result the Hospital and Clinic are smoke free environments. Smoking is not permitted within the hospital or clinic grounds. Please speak to your doctor if you feel you will experience difficulties if you are not able to smoke whilst on campus.
