SALE PROSPECTUS
Greater Eastern Obesity Surgery (GEOS)
Melbourne, Victoria Prepared August 2026
- Executive Summary
Greater Eastern Obesity Surgery (GEOS) is a boutique, highly specialised metabolic and bariatric surgery service operating in Melbourne’s South-East. Established over two decades ago, GEOS has built a reputation for exceptional governance, meticulous clinical pathways, and safe, high-quality outcomes across gastric banding, sleeve gastrectomy, and revisional bariatric surgery.
Although GEOS currently receives 5–7 new referrals per year, the practice maintains a high-acuity patient cohort, a stable revision pipeline, and a fully developed digital and clinical infrastructure that can be seamlessly integrated into a larger bariatric organization, or to start a surgeons new practice.
The proposed sale includes all digital assets, referral pathways, clinical protocols, and the GEOS brand, enabling the buyer to absorb GEOS patients into their existing service while expanding their digital footprint and strengthening their presence in Melbourne’s South-East.
The asking price of $30,000 negotiable, reflects the value of GEOS’s strategic assets and offsets the seller’s ongoing indemnity obligations for historical bariatric activity.
