After surgery you can expect simply wonderful care on our dedicated and fully monitored surgical wards. There, you’ll be supported by a team of dedicated and experienced nurses who’ll aid in your recovery. They’ll go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and at home.

Our friendly Bookings and Admission team will book you in and answer any questions you have. They’ll escort you and your support person to the pre-admission centre before going through to theatre.
Rehabilitation
If you need rehabilitation after surgery, your surgeon will talk with you about the best place to go. This may include having your rehabilitation with us as an inpatient or outpatient.
How much will it cost?
As with most surgeries performed in a private hospital there are out-of-pocket fees. The amount depends on the surgery you have and - where you have private health fund cover - whether the treatment that is right for you, is included in that cover. Your specialist can give you an indication of out-of-pocket fees. Your private health fund will be able to advise whether your treatment is covered or not and any out-of-pocket fees.
No private health insurance?
If you don’t have private health insurance or you’re an overseas patient, you can choose to self-fund your surgery. Your specialist can talk to you about this option.
