Supplier update on Healthscope ownership

Healthscope’s parent entities have entered receivership, with McGrathNicol Restructuring appointed to work with Healthscope management to complete an orderly sale of the business. The operational business, which runs our hospitals, is not in receivership.

Throughout this process, it remains business as usual across Healthscope and its hospitals & Independence Services.​​​​​​. Our hospitals continue to treat and provide outstanding care for patients. Our cash and trading position also remain strong. We will also continue to honour our current supplier agreements and payment terms.
