State-of-the-art operating theatres
Your surgery will be performed in one of our state-of-the-art operating theatres. These impressive theatres attract leading surgeons and highly qualified surgical teams from across Australia.
Our surgical teams are supported by world-class technology and equipment in the theatres. We work closely with imaging and pathology partners to bring market-leading diagnostic technology to you and our community.
Within our operating theatre complex we also have a specialised hybrid interventional theatre which can be used for both standard surgical procedures as well as interventional radiological procedures when advanced imaging availability is required intraoperatively.

When you go private you’ll enjoy rapid access to surgery and be able to choose your own surgeon.
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.
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.
