The State Supply Chain

The State Supply Chain (SSC) was established in 2020 as part of the Victorian Government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The SSC has played a critical role in ensuring Victorian public health services have access to goods that may be in high demand or difficult to access. In August 2023, the Department of Health announced that the SSC would begin to wind down, with SSC products available until stock is exhausted. This is subject to a declining and limited range of products.

We encourage health services to continue ordering PPE and other SSC products listed through the SSC – which all remain available free of charge for SSC customers – for as long as possible.

Health services can read more about the SSC and plans for its closure.
