The Day Surgery Unit at Wollongong Hospital manages the surgery journeys of patients who are booked in for Elective Surgery.

Elective surgery bookings are made many months in advance. Occasionally delays may occur on the day of operations due to other peoples’ urgent medical conditions. Patients' booking times for surgery may change throughout the day due to unplanned or emergency surgery.

If you have any concerns or questions, please don’t hesitate to ask the staff.
