Brisbane Private Hospital map, entry and Wickham Terrace location

The hospital is located at 259 Wickham Terrace, Brisbane QLD 4000, close to Brisbane CBD, Central Station, Roma Street Station and the Wickham Terrace specialist medical precinct. The patient pick-up and drop-off zone is directly off Wickham Terrace.

Arrival tip: If you are having surgery, day surgery or an admission, follow the hospital arrival instructions from your doctor and present at the correct hospital reception area. Do not rely only on Google Maps for the internal level or ward.

Appointments, specialist referrals and eAdmissions process

Brisbane Private Hospital appointments are usually not booked like a GP walk-in. For most private hospital procedures, you first see a specialist, the specialist decides whether hospital care is needed, and then admission is arranged through the hospital and Healthscope eAdmissions.

Patient task What to do Why it matters
Need a specialist appointment Ask your GP for a referral or use Healthscope Find a Doctor for specialists consulting at Brisbane Private Hospital. Specialist rooms often manage consultation bookings, not the hospital switchboard.
Have surgery planned Your hospital admission will be arranged by your doctor, who will tell you the day and time to come to hospital. The hospital needs your admission details, health fund details and health history before arrival.
Complete admission paperwork Use Healthscope eAdmissions online and submit forms as soon as possible, no later than 72 hours before admission. Late forms can delay admission processing or pre-admission checks.
Need Damascus drug/alcohol rehabilitation Referral is submitted through the Damascus eReferrals pathway. The Intake Team aims to make contact within 48 to 72 hours after receiving a referral and specialist assessment. The service needs diagnosis details, funding details, requested admission/transfer date and referring doctor information.
Unsure who to call Call Brisbane Private Hospital switchboard on 07 3834 6111. Ask for admissions, the ward, day surgery, Damascus, medical records, accounts or the relevant department.

Admission day, day surgery and discharge: what actually happens

Stage Official hospital guidance Patient action
Before admission Brisbane Private Preadmission aims to provide nursing contact with most patients before admission so the hospital can gather information and prepare for individual needs. Answer preadmission calls and ask about medications, fasting, arrival, discharge and transport.
Day surgery arrival For Day Surgery Unit admissions, present at hospital reception on Level A. Arrive at the time given by your doctor or hospital; do not bring valuables.
Admission registration Surgical patients should go to the main reception desk close to the main entrance on Level A. Have Medicare, health fund details, forms and medication list ready.
Before theatre Nursing staff finalise admission, collect health history, confirm next of kin and prepare patients for theatre. Tell staff about allergies, medicines, implants, previous anaesthetic issues and discharge transport.
Order of admission Day surgery patients are admitted according to the order of the theatre list, not necessarily the order of arrival. Bring patience, but ask nursing staff if you are unsure about delays.
After procedure Patients transfer to recovery. If staying overnight, personal items are moved to the room. Follow nurse and doctor instructions before eating, walking or leaving.
Same-day discharge If you had a general anaesthetic, your doctor may require a minimum two-hour stay post-procedure before discharge review. You must have a responsible adult accompany you home and stay with you overnight after discharge.
Discharge from ward Your doctor informs you of discharge date; nursing staff complete discharge documentation when you are ready to leave. Collect belongings, medicines, x-rays/scans if needed and written discharge instructions.

Fees, private health insurance, self-funding and out-of-pocket costs

Because Brisbane Private Hospital is a private hospital, cost depends on your specialist, procedure, anaesthetist, private health insurance, DVA/WorkCover status, prosthetics/consumables and whether you self-fund.

Cost item What the hospital says What to do before admission
Major health funds Brisbane Private Hospital says it is recognised by all major health funds. Contact your fund before admission to confirm cover, restrictions, financial status and waiting periods.
Excess or co-payment Your health fund can advise any excess or co-payments you may incur. Ask the fund for written confirmation where possible.
Out-of-pocket expenses All out-of-pocket expenses need to be paid prior to, or on, admission. Ask surgeon, anaesthetist and hospital for expected costs before signing financial consent.
Accepted payment methods Credit card, cash and bank cheque are listed. Credit card payments have a 1% surcharge for Visa and MasterCard. Bring a suitable payment method if advised there is an amount payable.
Compensable patients Prior approval will be sought for compensable patients such as WorkCover and some Department of Veterans’ Affairs patients. Bring claim approval or DVA details if applicable.
No private insurance The hospital says patients with no private health insurance are welcome and should contact the hospital for an estimate of procedure cost. Ask for a self-funded estimate before confirming surgery.
Possible extra charges The hospital notes possible out-of-pocket expenses from allied health, pharmacy, pathology, imaging/x-ray, surgeon/physician/anaesthetist and prosthetics or consumables not covered by your fund. Ask each provider directly; hospital, doctor and anaesthetist bills can be separate.
Private hospital cost script: “Can you confirm my hospital excess, co-payment, surgeon fee, anaesthetist fee, assistant fee, prosthesis/implant risk, pharmacy cost, imaging/pathology cost and whether anything is not covered by my fund?”
