Hip Surgery

Severe hip arthritis or injury can make everyday activities painful and limit your independence. Private hip surgery, such as total hip replacement, may help restore mobility sooner than waiting through the public system. This page offers general guidance on what to expect.

What’s involved?

A private hip surgery package usually covers the surgeon’s fee, anaesthetist’s fee, assistant surgeon fee and hospital fees. Costs vary depending on the complexity of your procedure and your private health cover. Ask each provider for an itemised quote and speak with your health insurer about any gap payments before proceeding.
