Our robotic-assisted systems, including CORI and ROSA, are designed to support surgeons during joint replacement procedures with real-time data and guidance. This technology assists with planning and implant positioning, allowing surgery to be tailored more precisely to each patient’s individual anatomy. This added precision may support improved recovery and help reduce pain after surgery.

The CORI surgical system is an advanced robotics platform used in both partial and total knee replacement procedures. It creates a detailed 3D model of the knee, helping your surgeon plan and perform surgery with precision tailored to your anatomy.ROSA
ROSA brings together advanced technologies including computer navigation, soft tissue balancing, 3D modelling and robotic assistance in one integrated system. These tools help support accurate implant positioning and a highly personalised surgical approach.Geraldton orthopaedic surgeons

Costs and fee payment options
If you have private health insurance, the costs for your hospital stay and specialist fees may be covered by your health fund, based on your level of cover.
If you don’t have private health insurance, you can access treatment at a St John of God Health Care hospital through our self-funded care option.
When you use your private health insurance, you get benefits that include access to St John of God Health Care private hospital facilities, your choice of specialist, minimal wait times, and with an eligible policy most of your hospital costs can be covered by your private health insurance fund.
You should contact your health insurer to understand your level of cover, and whether your policy is subject to additional fees such as a hospital excess or other ‘out-of-pocket’ expenses. Your health insurer will also be able to assist in understanding if you will have doctor, radiology and pathology out-of-pocket costs.
Patients who don’t have private health insurance can choose to access St John of God Health Care private hospital services and treatments by paying fees themselves.
By accessing our self-funded care option, you’ll be able to avoid wait times and have your surgery or treatment with your choice of specialist at a St John of God Health Care private hospital.
