About the Company
HealthShare Victoria (HSV) is a Victorian public sector entity established on 1 January 2021 as an independent, commercially oriented public sector provider of supply chain services (surety, procurement and logistics) to Victoria's public health sector. Our purpose is to partner with Victoria's public health services, suppliers and government to ensure the right products and services are delivered to the right place at the right time, supporting better value for our public health services and better outcomes for their patients. We work with Victoria's public health services to understand their requirements. We meet these needs by establishing collective agreements (purchasing contracts) for medical consumables, pharmaceuticals and medical equipment, as well as non-medical products and services they need via large-scale tenders. We also play a critical role in ensuring Victoria's public health services have access to goods and services that may be in higher demand or difficult to access, including personal protective equipment (PPE), medical consumables, ICU equipment and pharmaceuticals. We administer several compliance-related functions, and work with health services to assist them in meeting their legislative, compliance and probity obligations. As well as providing an end-to-end health supply chain for Victoria's public health services, we extend access to our collective agreements to health or related services assessed as 'eligible services'. Building on a spirit of change and transformation, our work supports our health service customers to deliver safe, high quality and sustainable healthcare for all Victorians.
