Knee Surgery

Chronic knee pain can severely limit your mobility and quality of life. Private knee surgery, such as total knee replacement or arthroscopic procedures, may offer a faster pathway to recovery than waiting on the public list. This page provides general information to help you understand the process and typical costs.

What’s involved?

Private knee surgery costs typically include the surgeon’s fee, anaesthetist’s fee, assistant surgeon fee and hospital or theatre charges. Your final out‑of‑pocket cost will depend on your private health cover (if any) and the specific services you need. Ask each provider for a written estimate and check with your health fund about gap payments.
