National Capital Private Hospital

What National Capital Private Hospital does

National Capital Private Hospital is a multi-specialty private acute hospital located in Garran, Australian Capital Territory, operated as part of the Healthscope group of Australian private hospitals. It delivers surgical, medical, cardiac, orthopaedic, neurosurgical, bariatric, oncological and rehabilitation services to insured, self-pay, Department of Veterans' Affairs and compensable patients drawn from the ACT, the greater southern region, the NSW south coast and the Riverina. Service breadth spans orthopaedics, cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, general surgery, neurosurgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery, vascular surgery, urology, gynaecology, oncology, ENT, gastroenterology, oral and dental surgery, plus dedicated rehabilitation and day chemotherapy units.

The hospital's physical platform is the basis of its clinical positioning: an 18-bed Coronary Care Unit with telemetry monitoring, a 22-bed Intensive Care Unit, three cardiac catheterisation laboratories, a hybrid theatre, an angiography suite, HEPA-filtered theatres, on-site pathology, pharmacy and physiotherapy, and inpatient plus day rehabilitation programmes. Robotic surgical capability is built around the MAKO, ROSA and NAVIO systems for joint replacement and the 7D Spinal Navigation system for spinal procedures. Cardiac capability covers coronary angiography, stenting, pacemaker insertion, bypass, valvular and structural heart procedures including TAVI, electrophysiology, ablation and DC cardioversion. In 2021 the hospital became the first in Australia to receive dual Surgical Review Corporation accreditation as a Centre of Excellence in Joint Replacement and Robotic Joint Replacement.

Revenue is generated on a fee-for-service basis across four payer streams: private health insurance patients (recognised by all major funds), self-pay patients with cost estimates supplied by a bookings coordinator, Department of Veterans' Affairs patients under a veteran-partnering arrangement, and compensable patients including Comcare, Department of Defence, third-party and Workers Compensation cases. Distribution is primarily specialist-driven: patients are referred by GPs to accredited specialists who practise at the hospital and arrange admission, supplemented by Healthscope's online specialist directory, an eAdmissions digital portal, GP education events run through Healthscope hospitals and self-pay bookings. The hospital operates under ACHS accreditation and Healthscope's group-wide clinical governance framework.
