Private Hospitals are a vital part of Australia’s health care system and we do so much more than many Australians realise. Every day we save lives and improve the quality of life of our patients.
Without private hospitals many Australians won’t get the care they need when they need it.
We provide 40% of all hospital treatment in Australia.
We conduct more than 60% of elective surgery.
We perform almost half of the cardiac surgery undertaken in Australia and the majority of hip and knee replacements and in-hospital chemotherapy, and more.
About the campaign
The ‘Valuing Private Hospitals’ campaign is a way for people to share why they value private hospitals and debunk the myths. The campaign kicks off in April with the first ever Private Hospitals Week in Australia. Together our voices can make a difference so please join us in sharing your stories. Read what others are saying, find out more about the campaign and voice your support.
