The funds received allows East Grampians Health Service to purchase new and replacement equipment, maintain facilities and undertake more elective surgery, reducing waiting times across the region. It also allows us to continue to provide a broad range of high quality services to the local community.

Additionally, our billing system allows us to automatically process all claims to Medicare and your Health Insurance company on your behalf, meaning you won’t receive any bills relating to your admission.

* Please note that a Surgeon’s booking fee is not considered part of your hospital admission and will be payable by you.
