Adeney Private Hospital represents an innovative new approach to healthcare in Australia.

“The Adeney Dream” was born in late 2020, when a group of leading medical specialists approached Medibank Private with a shared vision: to create a hospital that delivers exceptional care without the financial “gap” burden that is often placed on privately insured patients. Thus, Adeney Private Hospital was created —a unique joint venture where the doctors are the majority owners, ensuring that clinical excellence remains at the heart of everything we do.

A key founder of Adeney Private Hospital- Professor Michael Grigg AM- explains how the concept of Adeney Private Hospital came about in this video.

Adeney is the first hospital in Australia to provide zero out-of-pocket costs for privately insured patients across all specialties and whole of hospital services (with participating funds).

Designed as a right-stay hospital, Adeney supports a modern model of care where prehabilitation and rehabilitation are delivered outside the hospital setting. Our “continuity of care” clinical team provide support at every step of their surgical journey, allowing patients to successfully and safely recover at home.

At the helm is respected healthcare leader Ms. Louise Shardey, whose commitment to patient-centred care and team collaboration shapes the hospital’s culture. Louise is passionate about building a values-driven team where every staff member feels recognised and empowered—because delivering the best care starts with people who are truly connected to the patients they serve.
