Smoke Free Environment

The RHH has been smoke free since the Public Health Amendment (Smoke Free Areas) Act came into effect on 1 September 2001. Tobacco use and smoking is prohibited on the RHH site (including entrances and hospital grounds). This ban also applies to the Geriatric Evaluation & Management Unit and the Transition Care Unit at the old Repatriation complex in Davey Street and the Renal Unit at St John’s Park in New Town. Any breach of the Public Health Amendment (Smoke Free Areas) Act may result in prosecution in accordance with the Act.
