Nexus is delighted to announce that we have entered into a partnership with Bundaberg Private Day Hospital. Since opening in April 2019, Bundaberg Private Day Hospital has established a reputation for excellence in day surgery and serving the local community.

The experienced nursing and administration team provide an outstanding experience for patients and doctors across ophthalmology, gastroenterology, plastic and other specialities
Both Jai and Kate will remain in their existing roles and retain a shareholding in the hospital. Commenting on the partnership, Kate stated “We are proud of our hospital and believe that our connection to the local community is an important part of its success. We see our partnership with Nexus as an opportunity to further develop the services the hospital provides, ensuring the best Australian healthcare has to offer can be brough to the local Bundaberg and surrounding community.”
For Nexus, Bundaberg Private Day Hospital represents the 17th hospital in a growing portfolio of day and short stay surgical hospitals, and the first in Queensland.
