Inpatient Rehabilitation

The booking for your hospital stay will be made through your Doctor’s rooms, or as a referral directly from another hospital.

Complete admission paperwork

If you have a planned admission, you will receive admission paperwork from your Doctor's rooms. Please ensure you complete the forms and return them to Brisbane Waters Private Hospital.

Where possible, we require your admission forms one week prior to your admission date. This is important so that we can confirm your hospital booking.

For rehabilitation patients transferring from another facility, where possible you will be assessed by our Rehabilitation Assessor to ensure suitability to programs provided by the hospital. A number of information brochures about Brisbane Waters Private, our facilities and programs will also be provided at this time.
