19 Aug 2025

• Tweed Day Surgery has been sold to specialist day surgery group Day Hospital Partners.
• The sale will have no impact on jobs, and patient care will continue without disruption.
• Healthscope will collaborate with Day Hospital Partners to ensure a smooth transition supporting patients, hospital teams and doctors.

Healthscope today announced the sale of Tweed Day Surgery to specialist operator Day Hospital Partners (DHP), effective 1 October 2025. The announcement follows a period of due diligence and negotiations between the parties, after DHP made an unsolicited approach to Healthscope in 2024.

Healthscope believes proceeding with the sale is in the best interests of employees, doctors and the local community. There will be no impact on jobs or hospital services. All staff will continue in their existing roles, and patient care will proceed without interruption.

Healthscope CEO Tino La Spina said the sale reflects Healthscope’s commitment to ensuring continuity of care for the Tweed community, staff and doctors: “We’re pleased to have secured a future for Tweed Day Surgery with Day Hospital Partners, a group with a strong track record in delivering quality day surgery services. Our patients, staff and doctors will have our full support to transition to this new future for the facility, as it continues to serve the community.”

A formal transition process is now underway, with both Healthscope and DHP working closely to ensure a seamless handover and ongoing operational stability.
Healthscope State Manager – Matt Tallis acknowledged the contribution of the Tweed team: “We are proud of the exceptional care our teams have delivered at Tweed Day Surgery. We thank them for their continued commitment and look forward to supporting a smooth transition to new ownership.”

Day Hospital Partners - CEO Ben Korst said: “I’m delighted Tweed Day Surgery is joining the DHP portfolio, further expanding our day surgery network. I’m looking forward to getting to know the team and doctors in the coming months.”

Day Hospital Partners currently operates Townsville Day Surgery and Darwin Day Surgery and brings the experience of the former Montserrat Day Hospital Management Teams
The sale is unrelated to Healthscope’s receivership and broader sale process. At Healthscope's remaining facilities across Australia, it is business as usual.
