Rebooking Elective Surgery


We are experiencing a high volume of calls. If you have previously consulted one of our surgeons and have had a scheduled surgery postponed, please be assured we are working to reschedule surgeries as soon as possible.

New guidelines have been established to gradually reintroduce elective surgery capacity.  As instructed by the federal government, only 25% of elective surgery is currently able to be performed. We anticipate another announcement on May 11th.

If your query is regarding “when” your surgery will be rescheduled we kindly ask that you wait to hear from our team. We will call as soon as we have available operating theatre times available to us. Alternatively you can email the secretary for further information (click on the surgeon page for secretary email details).

We thank you for your patience while waiting for a new date for surgery.
