After anaesthetic, you must have a responsible adult to accompany you home and stay with you overnight. If this cannot be organised, please contact the Day Hospital at least 1 week prior to your admission.
If you do not have an escort, or overnight carer, then your procedure may be cancelled.
Commence fasting at the time advised by your doctor. Importantly, you must not consume ANYTHING other than water for at least 6 hours prior to your admission time. You may take your regular medications, as advised by your treating doctor, with a sip of water. If you have any questions about how you should take your regular medications, please contact your referring doctor. If you are taking diabetic medication, please discuss with your Anaesthetist how they should be taken prior to surgery.

Toowoomba Private Day Hospital is conveniently located in central Toowoomba with easy access for patients. There is ample free on-site parking available.
Public sector waiting times for all different surgeries have continued to escalate in recent years. Although you may not hold private health insurance, you can still be treated in a private facility. You may choose to jump the queue and have your procedure earlier by coming to a private facility as an uninsured patient. There are hospital fees associated with having your procedure at a private day hospital as an uninsured patient. To make your timely healthcare more accessible, we offer interest free finance options for your hospital fees. Please contact us to find out more.
