The police liaison service at the Royal Melbourne Hospital is the hospital’s primary point of contact for Victoria Police and other law enforcement agencies about police-related matters.
Police-related matters may include:
- Police personnel seeking to issue warrants, subpoenas, summons or other Court documents to the Royal Melbourne Hospital (RMH) in police matters
- Police personnel seeking high-level, general information about a patient’s condition (for example, whether a patient’s condition is “stable”, “serious” or “critical”, or whether the patient is deceased)
- Police requests for a patient’s health information where an appropriate authority exists
- Police requests for statements concerning patients
- Queries related to forensic evidence
- Assisting police who are preparing a brief on behalf of the coroner
- Queries regarding missing persons
