Southern Cross Wellington Surgical Centre (joint venture partner) opening in 2025

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
