Sending Get Well Balloons to an Adelaide Hospital

Want to brighten a hospital stay with balloons? A little planning avoids disappointment at the ward door.

Most hospitals allow foil, not latex

Many hospital wards don't allow latex balloons because of latex-allergy risks to patients and staff. Foil (mylar) balloons are usually fine — and they last longer anyway, making them the smart choice for a hospital gift. Our get well balloon bouquets can be made up in foil for exactly this reason.

Always check the specific ward first

Policies vary by hospital and by ward (ICU, maternity, oncology and children's wards are often stricter). Before ordering: - Call the ward and ask if balloons are allowed, and whether foil-only. - Confirm the patient is still admitted and get the ward name/number. - Check visiting hours and any delivery-desk instructions.
