Recently the government made a decision to suspend all non-urgent elective surgery in public and private hospitals.

“Only elective surgery categorised as ‘Category 1’ and some ‘Category 2’ procedures will be allowed to continue”

Category 1 procedures are for patients needing treatment within 30 days.

Category 2 procedures are for patients needing treatment within 90 days; this includes treatment for conditions that cause pain, dysfunction or disability.
Category 3 procedures are for patients needing treatment at some point in the next year. All Category 3 procedures will be temporarily suspended.

We will be in touch with patients who are currently booked for surgery to let them know whether their procedure can go ahead. There may be delays for patients who have not yet been booked for surgery.

Please contact us by email or phone 07 3067 7086 with any questions.
