Ramsay Cairns – ‘People caring for People’
Ramsay Cairns has three facilities - Cairns Private Hospital, Cairns Day Surgery and The Cairns Clinic. Ramsay Cairns is committed to offering a caring and supportive experience for patients and their carers whilst at our facilities. We believe in partnering with our consumers to create a health service which is responsive to the needs of patients and carers in our community.
Waiting period exemption for psychiatric care benefits
The Federal Government’s private health insurance reforms now allows eligible consumers an instant policy upgrade to cover a private psychiatric hospital admission without serving a waiting period*. The changes, which make it easier for policy holders to access mental health services when they need it, came into effect on 1 April 2018.
*The waiting period does not apply to upgrades where consumers have already served their 2 month waiting period on lower cover policies.

The new system requires a person to scan a unique QR code – using the camera function on their smart phone – before they enter the facility.
