Southern Cross Central Lakes Hospital provides patients in the Central Lakes region with greater access to quality elective surgery closer to home.

Over time, we will provide a wide range of specialist surgery, including orthopaedics, ophthalmology, urology, gynaecology, plastic, and general surgery.

While accident and emergency services are not part of the service we offer, we will be providing planned surgery for patients who are eligible through ACC.
