Figtree Private Hospital

What Figtree Private Hospital does

Figtree Private Hospital is a 40-bed rehabilitation and medical facility located in Figtree, NSW, Australia, serving the Illawarra region south of Wollongong. The hospital operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ramsay Health Care (ASX:RHC), one of the world's largest private healthcare companies with 480 facilities across 11 countries. Originally founded in 1980 as a general private hospital, Figtree was transformed in 2016 into a specialized rehabilitation facility following the opening of Ramsay's Wollongong Private Hospital, which absorbed the acute care services.

The hospital's core offerings are organized around three pillars: inpatient and day-program rehabilitation (covering orthopaedic, musculoskeletal, neurological, pain management, and reconditioning needs); the Illawarra Early Parenting Centre — the first facility of its kind in the region, supporting families with infants aged 28 days to two years experiencing sleep, feeding, settling, and adjustment difficulties; and Ramsay Health Plus allied health outpatient services including physiotherapy, exercise physiology, lymphoedema care, and speech therapy. A specialty 10-week Parkinson's Disease Program rounds out the product portfolio. Multidisciplinary care teams draw on physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech pathology, dietetics, psychology, and social work.

Revenue is generated through patient services billed to private health insurers, self-funded patients, workers compensation cases, DVA patients, and overseas visitors, with admissions sourced primarily through GP and specialist referrals. Distribution is direct via the single physical facility, supported by a website, community information sessions, and a GP Direct Patient Admission hotline. The hospital participates in Ramsay's group-wide quality programs, reporting hand-hygiene compliance and infection rates above/below industry benchmarks, higher-than-average Functional Independence Measure scores, low unplanned readmissions, and low medication-error rates. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; patients are directed to insurers for coverage confirmation.
