What is the fastest way to get a hip replacement in Australia?

My uncle has recently said he needs a hip. It has been said that there is February 1-year wait to join the waiting list for the public, and then again wait for surgery (who lives in Melbourne) now has joined private health and would wait 11 months before they will pay for the operation. He is in agony and can barely walk or drive your car. He panadine strong but this does not really help (although it takes 3-4 at a time). What are the wait times interstate? Is it possible to make the states of operation? (I live in South Africa).

Has the "medical tourism"? Some uninsured Americans traveling abroad were expensive procedures physicians as joint replacements for a fraction of the cost at home. If desperate, you might consider India or Thailand.
