About our services
Elective surgery is when you plan a procedure, usually starting with your GP referring you to a surgeon.
You can have surgery in locations such as Batemans Bay, Cooma, Moruya, Goulburn, Queanbeyan, and South East Regional Hospital - Bega. Read our Elective Surgery Guide (PDF 4.18MB), then discuss the location of your surgery with your doctor, who will then refer you to the right surgeon.
To get ready for your surgery, read our patient guide What You Need to Know About Your Surgery Journey (PDF 1.45MB) before your procedure.
