Enquiries desk

There are two enquiries desks located at:

Entertainment

A bedside radio service is available in most wards. Most wards also have television monitors above each bed. The television service is available on a daily or weekly rental basis. This service is run by an external company and is not managed by us. Hire can be arranged through the Hospital Television Rentals representative who visits the wards regularly during the day. At our Wellington Street campus there are also rental vending machines on most wards which accept cash or credit cards. For safety reasons, the use of private TV sets is not permitted.

Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi is now available at Royal Perth Hospital. Visit the Wi-Fi page for more information.

Telephones

Bedside telephones are available so patients can receive incoming telephone calls at no cost. The telephone service is provided by an external company and is not managed by us. If you would like to use the telephone for outgoing calls, you will need to purchase a pre-paid patient phone card from the Hospital Television Rentals representative who visits the wards daily. At our Wellington Street campus you can also use your credit card to put credit on the phone using the handpiece.
