Perth Surgical & Bariatrics

What Perth Surgical & Bariatrics does

Perth Surgical & Bariatrics is a privately-held specialist medical and surgical practice headquartered at 30 Churchill Avenue, Subiaco, Perth, Western Australia, operating since 2003 under the leadership of bariatric and metabolic surgeon Dr Ravi Rao FRACS. The practice delivers an integrated weight loss and metabolic health offering that combines medical and surgical pathways under one specialist, targeting adults with BMI 40+ or BMI 35+ with obesity-related comorbidities as well as patients seeking non-surgical weight management.

Its core clinical offerings span a specialist-supervised GLP-1 Weight Loss Programme using Ozempic and Mounjaro pathways, a Long-Term Metabolic Care programme for maintenance and relapse prevention, and four bariatric surgical procedures: Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (Gastric Sleeve), SIPS/SADI-S, Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, and Lap Band Surgery. Adjacent minimally invasive services include hernia repair (groin, umbilical, incisional, abdominal wall, sports, rarer), gallstone surgery, reflux and gastrointestinal surgery, plus post-weight-loss body contouring (abdominoplasty and brachioplasty). Patient-facing assets include an online BMI calculator, a comprehensive website blog, a YouTube educational video library, weight-loss recipe resources, and a Facebook-based Perth Bariatric Support Community exceeding 3,100 members.

The business model is specialist-led and sales-led: patients book through a website form or phone for an initial comprehensive assessment consultation and then proceed along medical weight loss, bariatric surgery, or combination treatment pathways. Revenue is generated from professional service fees for consultations and surgical procedures, with recurring-style revenue from the GLP-1 programme and Long-Term Metabolic Care subscriptions. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; patients are directed to book for cost information. The practice operates a single site in Western Australia with no disclosed subsidiaries, parent company, funding rounds, acquisitions, or strategic partnerships.

Emerging players

• Juniper: Australian telehealth weight loss provider offering GLP-1 treatment programmes online. Overlaps with PSB's medical weight loss programme but competes via digital-first, nationally scalable delivery.
• Eucalyptus: Australian digital health platform including weight management programmes. Partial overlap with PSB's medical weight loss segment via telehealth delivery.
• Hims & Hers Health: US-based telehealth platform offering GLP-1 weight loss treatment. Comparable on the medical weight loss / GLP-1 pathway but does not perform surgery and is US-focused.

Broad incumbents

• Icon Cancer Centre (bariatric/metabolic services): Large Australian private healthcare provider offering weight loss surgery within a broader multi-specialty portfolio. Competes for the same elective bariatric patients with deeper institutional infrastructure.
• Healthscope Hospitals (bariatric programmes): National private hospital group running bariatric surgery programmes across multiple sites. Competes for the same patient pool but as part of a broader hospital network rather than a dedicated specialty practice.
