Perth Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Centre

What Perth Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Centre does

Perth Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Centre is a private medical specialist practice headquartered at Level 1, 1 Havelock Street, West Perth, Western Australia, founded in 1988 by Dr Keith Holt. The practice delivers comprehensive musculoskeletal care through 13 fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeons and 2 sports and exercise medicine physicians, covering all orthopaedic subspecialties except spine: hip, knee, foot and ankle, shoulder, elbow, hand and wrist, trauma surgery, and orthopaedic oncology. The clinical model spans the full patient journey from non-operative treatment (injection therapies, rehabilitation, injury prevention) through advanced surgical intervention using arthroscopic, computer-navigated, robotic, and minimally invasive muscle-sparing techniques, with a dedicated on-site Performance Lab for return-to-sport assessment.

The business operates on a professional services revenue model across four streams: surgical procedures performed at five partner private hospitals (Hollywood Private, Bethesda, St John of God Subiaco, St John of God Mt Lawley, Sundew Day Surgery), medical consultations (including telehealth for regional patients), Performance Lab services, and non-operative sport and exercise medicine treatments. Pricing is quote-based; consultations attract Medicare rebates with automatic processing, while surgical fees are provided as detailed pre-operative quotes, with private health insurance and workers compensation schemes as additional funding pathways. The GTM is referral-led, requiring GP or allied health professional referrals for surgeon consultations, supported by direct patient contact via phone, email, and the practice website.

The practice is physician-owned and independent, with no disclosed external institutional or venture capital investment. It operates the affiliated not-for-profit Perth Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Research Institute (POSMRI), which supports international fellowship training programs and published orthopaedic research. Strategic positioning is reinforced by medical coverage agreements with elite Australian sporting organisations including Australian Olympic and Paralympic teams, AFL/AFLW clubs, Cricket Australia, and the Australian Institute of Sport, and the clinic holds co-located SKG Radiology services on Level 2 of the same building.

Direct peers

• Fortius Clinic: London orthopaedic and sports medicine clinic where multiple POSM surgeons completed sub-specialty fellowships; elite-athlete medical coverage and sub-specialist surgical model directly aligned with POSM's positioning.
• Sportsmed (Melbourne): Multi-disciplinary sports medicine and orthopaedic group practice in Melbourne offering specialist consultations, surgical services, physiotherapy and rehabilitation — directly comparable to POSM in scope, structure, and patient segments.
• Orthopaedics SA: South Australian orthopaedic specialist group covering sub-specialty joint surgery, sports medicine, and trauma — directly comparable multi-surgeon group practice model to POSM.
• The Steadman Clinic: US-based elite-sports orthopaedic specialty clinic with research-driven, fellowship-trained surgeons — comparable to POSM's sub-specialty depth and elite-athlete clientele, though operating in a different geography.
• Olympic Park Sports Medicine Centre: Melbourne-based specialist sports medicine and orthopaedic practice serving elite athletes and general patients with multidisciplinary services, performance assessments, and surgical care — comparable in elite-sport focus and service breadth to POSM.

Broad incumbents

• Mayo Clinic Orthopedic Surgery: Broad incumbent orthopaedic service line within Mayo Clinic, offering the full spectrum of musculoskeletal care including spine surgery; comparable to POSM in offering joint replacement and sports medicine but at vastly greater scale and scope.
• Ramsay Health Care: Large Australian and global private hospital group; ecosystem participant whose hospital networks host POSM surgical work and whose strategic moves (orthopaedic day-surgery build-outs) could intensify competitive pressure.
• HSS Hospital for Special Surgery: Global leader in orthopaedics and rheumatology; far larger in scale than POSM but the benchmark for academic orthopaedic practice with fellowship training and sports medicine — comparable in sub-specialty depth and research orientation.
• St John of God Health Care: Major Australian private hospital operator where POSM surgeons hold admitting privileges at Mt Lawley and Subiaco; broader incumbent that could in-source or compete with specialist orthopaedic services at scale.

Others

• Hollywood Private Hospital: Ramsay-operated private hospital in Perth where multiple POSM surgeons operate; distribution partner rather than competitor but a strategic dependency for surgical volumes.
