This patient-first philosophy is at the heart of everything we do. The Apley Orthopaedics difference is our unwavering commitment to exceptional service and a genuinely positive patient experience — because how you feel throughout your journey matters just as much as the outcome.

What you need to
know about choosing
a hand surgeon
A fully qualified hand surgeon is a post-fellowship trained orthopaedic surgeon who has completed the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS) intensive training, plus spent additional years undertaking extensive sub-specialised hand surgery training in an accredited fellowship program.
These programs require a minimum 18 months of training, with completion of a set of core hand surgery curriculum within a network of approved hand surgery training centres. A hand surgeon choosing this path is committed to extra education and providing the best medical care possible.
