Packing for Your Stay at Ramsay Clinic Orange

We want to make your stay at Ramsay Clinic Orange as comfortable as possible. Here's a list of helpful items to bring, along with a few friendly reminders:

Essential Items

• For Admission: Please bring your Medicare card, private health insurance card (if applicable), Pension/PBS card (if applicable), Safety Net Card, and any co-payment or excess payment required by your health cover.
• For Your Well-being: Pack comfortable, casual clothes for day and night wear (avoid revealing or offensive clothing). You'll also need closed-toe shoes, toiletries, and any personal aids you regularly use (like a walking frame or hearing aids).
• Medications: Don't forget your current medications and prescriptions, including any Webster packs you use.

Optional Comfort Items

• Entertainment: Reading materials, a refillable water bottle (we have refill stations!), or a small amount of cash can help pass the time.
• Electronics: A small electronic device like an iPad or phone can be a comfort, but all electrical items will be inspected beforehand. Please be mindful of other patients' privacy and avoid bringing devices with camera and recording capabilities.

Things to Leave at Home

• For safety reasons, please avoid bringing sharp objects, plastic bags, coat hangers (we have wardrobe shelving), wheat heat packs (gel packs are available), candles, incense burners, electric blankets, or food.
• Limited parking is available, so consider alternative transportation. We will hold your car keys securely while you're here, as driving is not permitted during your stay.
• Alcohol, illicit substances, non-prescription drugs, or misuse of prescription medications are strictly prohibited.
• Laundry facilities are available, but please use only the laundry powder provided by the Clinic.

Packing Tips

• Clearly label all your belongings to avoid any confusion.
• We encourage you to pack lightly, as space in your room is limited. If you bring too many items, you might be asked to have them collected for safety reasons.

We look forward to welcoming you to Ramsay Clinic Orange and supporting you on your path to wellness.
