Welcome to Southern Cross Wellington Surgical Centre
Southern Cross Wellington Surgical Centre is in its final stages of construction. Once complete, this state-of-the-art day-stay surgical centre in Newtown, will be the first dedicated day-stay hospital with a primary focus on orthopaedic surgery. As a joint venture between the region’s leading orthopaedic specialists and Southern Cross Healthcare, we will be committed to delivering high-quality, patient-centred care.
We are located adjacent to Southern Cross Wellington Hospital. Our purpose-built centre is located on the top floor, and includes two operating theatres, a five-bed Post Anaesthetic Care Unit, and a five-chair day-stay lounge. With co-located Specialist Consulting Rooms and Affinity Medical Imaging, our facility is designed to enhance the patient experience and provide seamless, efficient care.
Opening late 2025

Construction of our cutting-edge day-stay surgical centre is well underway, with completion expected in late 2025. We anticipate bringing expanded access to high-quality orthopaedic care to patients across the Wellington region.
