Inaugural HSV Annual Report published

HealthShare Victoria’s first Annual Report has been tabled in the Victorian Parliament and is now publicly available on the HSV website.

The report sets out our achievements in 2020-21, highlighting an extraordinary year of transition as Health Purchasing Victoria joined forces with Melbourne Health Logistics to transform into HealthShare Victoria – a commercially oriented end-to-end supply chain, logistics and procurement service.

While undergoing this period of great change, and concurrently dealing with the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic’s second wave, we provided savings and benefits valued at $144 million – $43.5 million above target – working in partnership with Victoria’s public health services.

“These savings and benefits are realised through HSV’s agreements available for health services, which together represent an estimated $1.2 billion in total value under contract,” says HSV Chief Executive Neil Rodaway.

An independent audit completed by RSM Australia in October 2021 has verified the accuracy of HSV’s benefits calculations and reporting.

“In 2020-21, as well as working tirelessly to secure personal protective equipment and other equipment for the State Supply Chain, we also devoted a great deal of time and effort to establishing a new large-scale distribution centre in western Melbourne and its associated warehouse and workforce management systems,” Neil says.

In addition to these achievements, the report highlights how HSV embraced a new focus on safety and supply surety, while continuing to deliver supporting programs for health services, such as guidance in complying with the Modern Slavery Act.
