Rural & Interstate Patients

Comprehensive Care for Rural and Interstate Bariatric Patients

Interstate & Regional Patients

At Brisbane Obesity Clinic, we welcome patients from across Australia and New Zealand. We understand that travelling for treatment requires additional planning, and our team is committed to making the process as smooth and convenient as possible.

For eligible patients, initial consultations may be arranged via telephone or video consultation, allowing you to discuss your options and receive guidance before travelling to Brisbane.

Our team can assist with treatment planning, appointment coordination, and ongoing support throughout your journey. We work closely with interstate, regional, and rural patients to help ensure continuity of care before and after treatment.

Patients regularly travel to Brisbane from New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, and New Zealand to access our services and comprehensive multidisciplinary support.

From your initial enquiry through to follow-up care, we aim to provide personalised support tailored to your individual circumstances and healthcare needs.

The surgical journey of an interstate patient is a little different from the traditional patient journey. The following steps outline the standard process undertaken by an interstate patient:

Your virtual consultation will be conducted via a secure video appointment, allowing you to discuss your health goals, treatment options, and any questions you may have from the comfort of your home.

Following your consultation, a member of our healthcare team may contact you to provide additional information about treatment options, nutrition, and the next steps in your journey.

Our patient coordinators will guide you through the process and can assist with important documentation, treatment information, personalised quotations, and, where appropriate, information regarding early release of superannuation.

If you are travelling from interstate or a regional area, our team can also provide information about nearby accommodation options and assist you with planning your visit.

We are committed to providing ongoing support and helping you prepare for treatment, recovery, and long-term follow-up care.

When it’s time for your surgery, we recommend arriving in Brisbane one day before your procedure. This will allow you to attend your pre-operative appointment at the Wesley Pre-Admissions Clinic and help ensure a stress-free experience without the worry of arriving late on the day of surgery.

For interstate and regional patients, it is generally recommended that you remain in Brisbane for a period following your procedure to allow for appropriate recovery and post-operative review before travelling home.

Prior to your return, follow-up appointments may be arranged with members of our healthcare team and dietitians to assess your recovery, address any concerns, and provide guidance on the next stage of your care.

The recommended length of stay may vary depending on the procedure performed, your recovery progress, and your individual circumstances.

Travel recommendations are tailored to each patient and will be discussed as part of your personalised treatment plan.

Here at Brisbane Obesity Clinic, we have a 12-month care plan with our dietitian which extends to our interstate and overseas patients. Our dietitians will consult with you at 1 week, 4 weeks, 3 months, and at 12 months after your surgery. These appointments can be completed virtually via Zoom or phone call. If you require any additional appointments with our dietitian, these can be made at your convenience.

If you are an interstate or regional patient considering treatment at Brisbane Obesity Clinic, we encourage you to contact our team to learn more about your options and begin your journey.
