High-tech hospitals and world-class specialists, with a strong reputation for cancer care, fertility treatment and orthopedics.

Australia is better known for sending patients abroad than receiving them, but its hospitals attract a growing number of international patients from New Zealand, Asia and North America. They come for advanced, high-acuity care such as robotic surgery, IVF and cancer treatment, delivered in English to standards comparable with the United States.
Costs are generally lower than in the US but higher than in Asia, so Australia suits patients looking for familiar standards rather than the deepest discounts. Melbourne and Sydney host most specialist centers, and recovery can be combined with one of the world's great travel destinations.
