If you hold a valid Gold Level Private Health Insurance policy, your hospital accommodation and theatre fees are typically fully covered by your fund. Your remaining out-of-pocket cost is limited to the surgical team's fees.
Fee Component | Out-of-Pocket Investment |
Hospital Accommodation & Theatre | $0 |
Surgical Team Fees (Surgeon, Anaesthetist, & Assistant Surgeon + 2 Years Follow-up) | $6,800 |
Estimated Total Out-of-Pocket Gap | Less than $6,000* |
*Understanding Your Health Fund Rebate: Your final out-of-pocket gap depends entirely on your specific private health fund policy. Typically, patients receive a rebate of more than $800 back from their insurer.
If you do not have Gold Level private health insurance, you can completely self-fund your procedure. This comprehensive pathway bundles both the private hospital costs and the specialist medical fees.

Weight loss surgery is never a one-size-fits-all procedure. Your exact clinical fees depend heavily on your unique medical history, anatomical needs, and insurance status.
Gastric Bypass (RYGB/OAGB) incurs an additional out-of-pocket cost of $4,000–$10,000. Exact fees depend on private health insurance and clinical requirements (such as a Minimizer ring), finalised during your consultation.
To ensure the highest standards of safety, all patients are advised to undergo a gastroscopy prior to their bariatric surgery as part of their essential preoperative assessment.
Because your medical history and clinical needs are completely unique, the most accurate way to determine your exact investment is through a personal consultation with our surgeons. We will review your insurance, assess your clinical eligibility, and provide a transparent, itemised quote.
We believe that surgery is simply the “tool,” while the follow-up is the “work.” Our structured two-year program is designed to give you the highest chance of maintaining your results. By providing bulk-billed follow-up reviews and ongoing access to our bariatric dietitian, we ensure you are never alone on your journey to better health.
We want to ensure that financial logistics never stand in the way of life-saving medical care. If you are looking for alternative ways to manage the cost of your procedure, two primary options are available:
Many patients successfully apply for the compassionate release of their superannuation funds to cover the cost of weight loss surgery. The exact amount accessible depends on your specific health fund and chosen procedure type. Our team will provide a precise financial breakdown and guide you through the required medical paperwork following your initial consultation.
If you prefer to spread the cost over time, we accept payment plans through specialized medical finance providers such as MediPay or TLC (Total Lifestyle Credit). These plans allow you to distribute your investment over a 12–84 month period, ensuring immediate access to your health transformation while maintaining a budget that works for you.
Navigating the financial and clinical steps of surgery can feel overwhelming. Our team is committed to providing clear and transparent information so you can make an informed decision about your health.
Your transformation is a structured process designed to ensure you are prepared for a successful outcome.
