Offering a new era in orthopaedic surgery

The Orthopaedic Institute brings together over 30 orthopaedic surgeons, a dedicated nursing team, education and research.

No-Gap Joint Replacement Program

Macquarie University Hospital has partnered with HCF and Medibank to ensure that eligible patients have no out-of-pocket expenses for hip and knee replacement surgery.

What that means for youA nurse talking to a patient in a bed

Participating doctors have agreed to charge fees within the limits set by your insurer – meaning you will have no additional costs for your:

  • procedure
  • hospital stay and any related in-hospital services
  • post-surgery rehabilitation at home.

This allows you to focus on your recovery without worrying about unexpected medical bills.

Hip and knee surgery

Many of our orthopaedic surgeons specialise in hip and knee joint replacement. To support patients in returning to normal life as soon as possible, we focus on enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) model. This model prioritises:

  • patient care before surgery
  • rapid mobilisation after surgery
  • early discharge when suitable – allowing patients to continue their rehabilitation comfortably at home.
