Day Surgeries
Alpine Health provides a range of surgeries at our Mount Beauty Hospital.
We do this in partnership with Albury Wodonga Health Surgical Services, working together to deliver high-quality care close to home.
Alpine Health is part of the Hume Local Health Service Network, which helps us connect local people with coordinated and accessible healthcare.
These services are delivered by experienced visiting surgeons who are approved by our medical committee and supported by our skilled team.

Theatre services are run on Tuesdays in Mount Beauty.
Public or Private – Your Choice
You can choose to be treated as a public or private patient. There are no extra out-of-pocket costs, no matter which option you choose.
Types of Procedures We Offer
Some of the common day surgeries we provide include:
- Endoscopies – such as colonoscopies and gastroscopies
- Local anaesthetic procedures requiring sedation – such as skin lesion removal and skin grafts
- Minor surgeries – like hernia repair, carpal tunnel release, haemorrhoid treatment, and vasectomy
Note: If your BMI is 40 or over surgery at Alpine Health may not be the right option for you.
After Your Surgery
Most people go home the same day. Our team will call you to check your recovery and help with any questions.
If you need to stay overnight for any reason, you’ll be transferred to our Acute Ward for further care.
