Vision Hospital Group provides state-of-the-art operating suites and specialist theatre teams in an expertly managed, no-fuss environment. With a deep heritage in ophthalmic surgery, Vision Hospital Group is uniquely placed to serve the surgical needs of ophthalmologists. However, we proudly extend this expertise to complementary surgical specialties, also providing state-of-the-art facilities and specialist theatre teams across a range of surgical disciplines.
Our day surgeries offer the ideal operating solution for VMOs working in smaller/solo surgical private practices, across a wide range of specialties including ophthalmology, pain management, orthopaedics, dental surgery, general surgery, plastic surgery, gastroenterology, urology and dermatology. We are also happy to consider other complementary specialties in our theatres.
We are committed to outstanding patient care and optimal outcomes, being particularly mindful about maintaining your patients’ dignity and privacy. Our day surgeries include thoughtful extras that ensure your patients’ comfort, while our nurses and support staff will make your patients feel personally cared for at every step of their stay with us.
Our In Safe Hands program details how we provide patients with a safe and comfortable environment for their medical care. This includes infection control, emotional safety and wellbeing, and a commitment to quality.
All of our day surgeries are fully accredited against National Safety and Quality Health Services Standards. Read more about our accreditation and quality management here.
Our private day surgeries are known for being boutique, professionally run centres that enhance the clinical experience and facilitate efficient patient flows.
We acknowledge the importance of the ‘little things’ – which can be overlooked amid the hustle and bustle of larger institutions. We are single-minded in our efforts to create beautiful but functional spaces that accommodate the unique needs of you and your patients.
At Vision Hospital Group, you will have the benefit of our friendly, highly experienced administrative and specialist theatre teams – led by an on-site General Manager/Director of Nursing – who ensure patient comfort and safety as well as efficient turnaround times.
Our staff will always make you and your patients feel welcome, which even extends to speaking a range of languages other than English, including Mandarin, Cantonese, Malaysian, Filipino, Vietnamese, Korean and Italian (depending on the location).
Our theatre rosters offer you the convenience of flexible session frequency to suit your individual requirements. And to ease your administrative burden, a designated person at each site serves as the key point of contact.
We are dedicated to providing state-of-the-art equipment and technology to support the latest surgical techniques, optimise patient outcomes and ensure patient comfort at all times.
Examples of some of our technology include Alcon LenSx® Femtosecond Laser System, Alcon Centurion® Vision System, VERION Digital Toric Marker, reinforced operating tables and premium-quality instrumentation. Our Windsor Gardens Day Surgery has also installed the CANEXIS™ Endoscope track and trace software – a first for the Asia-Pacific region.
In 2021, we launched the Future Vision Foundation. This not-for-profit foundation encourages and supports the research efforts of staff and associated clinicians, as part of our longstanding commitment to ophthalmic research and innovation.
You can expect convenience when you work with us. Our private day surgeries are well located, and most have ample parking for surgeons and patients.
We provide on-site change-room facilities for VMOs, including lockers, as well as high-quality surgical gloves and well-fitting scrub garments in a range of sizes. There is plenty of desk space to write up notes or use your laptop between cases – along with access to a Wifi printer and fast internet. We also offer well-appointed tearooms with tea/coffee facilities and light refreshments (at a minimum).
Our day surgeries are well resourced across all areas from reception to theatre, and we put a strong focus on teamwork. You will generally be able to work with the same theatre staff on every list – we strive to foster strong, consistent working relationships. Our theatre nurses are well trained, efficient and highly skilled.
We also pride ourselves on maintaining a positive and healthy working environment for all our staff, which is driven by our company values. Read more about our values.
All of our private day surgeries are fully accredited against National Safety and Quality Health Services Standards (mandatory), with an on-site Director of Nursing to lead the clinical support team.
We also have a National Quality and Safety Manager, who works with our Directors of Nursing to oversee our quality standards and risk management.
As well as having health fund contracts with the major providers, we offer competitive rates for uninsured patients who wish to self-fund their surgery.
In the first instance, email us at [email protected] for more information. You will then be directed to the relevant Director of Nursing to discuss available theatre sessions.

No, you do not need to be associated with Vision Eye Institute to operate at a Vision Hospital Group day surgery. Our private day surgeries welcome VMOs from any ophthalmology practice, including solo or small group surgical practices. With a deep heritage in ophthalmic surgery, Vision Hospital Group is well-placed to provide an outstanding operating solution for all ophthalmologists.
At most of our day surgeries, there is car parking, tea/coffee amenities and a small range of refreshments/snacks available for all staff. We also provide change rooms with lockers.
Your individual day surgery will be responsible for informing your patient of any theatre fee out-of-pocket expenses they may incur as a result of their health fund check or if they are uninsured. All theatre fees are payable on the day of admission. An information pack is provided to the patient which will outline fees payable.
If you have a preferred anaesthetist, you are generally welcome to have them rostered to your theatre sessions. The anaesthetist will need to be credentialled prior to working with us. If you do not have a preference for an anaesthetist, the Director of Nursing will assist you and make arrangements for a suitable anaesthetist to be allocated to your regular sessions.
Windsor Gardens Day Surgery and RiverCity Private Hospital are located within specialist centres where suites may be available for lease. However, our other day surgery sites do not have consulting suites available to non-Vision Eye Institute doctors at this time.
While we do not currently provide on-site pathology and radiology at our private day surgeries, our facilities are centrally located, with these services available at nearby sites.
We are more than happy to have a discussion with our VMOs to learn how we can help them build their practice.
Your day surgery will provide you with an information pack that you can give to your patients. You will need to provide the patient with their fasting instructions and diabetic or anticoagulant medication requirements.
It is ideal for you to bring any AScans or patient notes you may wish to refer to during the theatre session.
