Providing elective healthcare to Queenstown and the Central Lakes region

Located in Queenstown, Southern Cross Central Lakes Hospital provides patients in the Central Lakes region with greater access to quality elective surgery closer to home.

The name, Southern Cross Central Lakes Hospital, is an expression of the joint venture partnership between Central Lakes Trust and Southern Cross Healthcare, whose shared purpose is to support the health and wellbeing of the Central Lakes community.

Over time, the hospital will provide a wide range of specialist surgery, including orthopaedics, ophthalmology, urology, gynaecology, plastic and general surgery. The facility began operating in early 2022, and includes 3 operating theatres and 13 inpatient beds, each with its own ensuite facilities.

While a private hospital, services will be available to both privately and publicly funded patients to support broader access to healthcare within the region. Accident and emergency services are not part of the healthcare services offered on site, however the hospital will be providing planned surgery for patients who are eligible for access through ACC.
