Well2Wise runs all-inclusive surgical packages for ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair. Estimate pricing for all six packages is published on this page, and surgeon consultations are open now through the Well2Wise app.

Well2Wise coordinates a transparent upfront estimate for your ACL or meniscus surgery so you can understand your anticipated costs before you commit.

Where we operate: we’re currently working with fellowship-trained surgeons and accredited private hospitals across the Sydney area, with more regions to follow.

About Well2Wise's role: Well2Wise is a healthcare booking and payment facilitation platform. We do not supply surgical, anaesthetic or hospital services. All clinical services are provided directly by your surgeon, the treating anaesthetist, and the accredited hospital facility. After your surgeon consult, the non-hospital part of your package (surgeon, anaesthetist, assistant and recovery program) is quoted and fixed; the hospital part is confirmed by the hospital. You pay your package upfront, before your surgery date, to Well2Wise as your disclosed payment agent and to the hospital; your package confirmation shows what goes to each. Well2Wise then pays the providers in your package on your behalf.

✓ Surgeons you can trust

We work with fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeons with extensive experience performing ACL and meniscus procedures for professional and elite athletes across football, rugby, AFL and other high-demand sports, bringing that same standard of surgical care to self-pay patients.

  • Transparent, upfront pricing: an all-inclusive estimate for the standard procedure components listed; your surgeon and hospital confirm whether any patient-specific exclusions or additional costs apply before you commit
  • No private health insurance needed: designed for patients paying for their own surgery
  • Coordinated care: Well2Wise supports your booking and preparation, and every package includes our 12-Month Recovery Program for the year after surgery

Recovery is the typical return to sport, guided by testing rather than the calendar. Most daily activity comes back much sooner.

These are estimates, not quotes

The prices shown are based on estimates Well2Wise patients have received to date. The line under each price tells you how those estimates, all of them given after a surgeon consultation, have compared with it. Your own estimate is confirmed after your consultation with the surgeon, who reviews your imaging and the specific pattern and severity of your injury before any figure is finalised, and before you commit to anything.

What can change it. The ACL estimates assume a hamstring or patella autograft, which is the standard choice; if your surgeon recommends an allograft, that typically adds around $2,000. Your surgeon may also find your procedure requires more than the standard package covers. Separately, if complications occur during surgery that require an overnight stay or admission to intensive care, the hospital invoices those additional costs directly. Your surgeon and the hospital provide full informed-consent documentation covering this before your procedure goes ahead.

Step by step

How it works

1

Book a surgeon consultation

Book through the Well2Wise app. The estimates on this page tell you the range to plan for; your consultation turns that into an estimate for your own injury.

2

GP referral and imaging

You'll need a current GP referral and MRI before your consultation. We can help point you in the right direction if needed.

3

Surgical consultation

Meet your orthopaedic surgeon. They'll assess your injury and confirm the procedure required. The non-hospital part of your package is then quoted and fixed, and the hospital confirms its part, before you commit.

4

Confirm and book

Once you're ready to proceed, surgery is booked with the hospital. You pay your package upfront, before your surgery date, to Well2Wise as your disclosed payment agent and to the hospital. Your package confirmation shows what goes to each, and Well2Wise pays your surgeon, anaesthetist and other providers on your behalf.

5

Surgery and recovery

Your surgery takes place at an accredited Sydney private hospital. Well2Wise supports your post-operative journey and physio pathway.

Why transparent pricing matters

Self-pay knee surgery is usually quoted piece by piece: the surgeon’s fee from one place, the hospital from another, the anaesthetist later again. Components go unmentioned until the invoices arrive, and two quotes are rarely quoting the same thing.

Well2Wise publishes complexity-stratified estimates for ACL and meniscus procedures, with every component listed above brought into a single figure. You can see what your procedure is likely to cost before you book a consultation, and your surgeon confirms your own estimate before you commit to anything.

Questions

Common questions

Who provides my surgical and medical care?

All surgical, anaesthetic and hospital services are provided directly by your treating surgeon, anaesthetist and the accredited hospital facility, not by Well2Wise. Well2Wise is a booking and payment facilitation platform. We coordinate your package, manage payment, and support your pre- and post-operative journey, but we are not a healthcare provider and do not supply clinical services.

Do I need private health insurance?

No. Our packages are designed for patients paying for their own surgery. The estimate covers the standard procedure components listed; your surgeon and hospital will confirm whether any patient-specific exclusions or additional costs apply before you commit. Not having private health insurance can affect the Medicare Levy Surcharge and Lifetime Health Cover loading, so check your own situation.

Are there any extra costs?

The estimate covers all components listed for a standard procedure. Should complications arise (which are uncommon, and which your surgeon will discuss with you), there may be additional costs from the hospital. Specifically, if complications during surgery require an overnight stay or admission to intensive care, the hospital invoices those additional costs directly. Your surgeon and hospital will provide full informed consent documentation before any procedure goes ahead.

Which graft is used for my ACL reconstruction?

The ACL estimates on this page are based on a hamstring or patella autograft: tissue taken from your own body, and the standard choice for most patients. If your surgeon recommends an allograft (donor tissue), that typically adds around $2,000 to your estimate. Your surgeon discusses graft choice with you at your consultation, before you commit to anything.

Will I stay overnight?

No. All six packages are day procedures, so you go home the same day. If complications during surgery mean you need an overnight stay or intensive care, the hospital invoices those additional costs directly, and your surgeon covers this with you in your informed consent documentation.

Which hospital will I go to?

Procedures are performed at accredited Sydney private hospitals. The specific hospital is confirmed at the time of booking.

Which surgeon will operate?

You'll be matched with a fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon. Your surgeon and procedure details are confirmed following your consultation.

How firm is the price I see here?

The prices shown are estimates drawn from what Well2Wise patients have been quoted to date. They are not a quote for your procedure. After your surgeon reviews your imaging and examines you, you receive a confirmed estimate specific to your injury, and you decide at that point, before committing to anything.

When can I book?

Now. Surgeon consultations are open and bookable through the Well2Wise app. There is no waiting list and no priority tiers. You'll need a current GP referral and an MRI before your consultation.
