Regrettably, we acknowledge that there can be times, though they are rare, when our patient care and outcomes do not meet the standards we set for ourselves or the standard expected by the public.

Healthscope has confirmed to the New South Wales Government that it is willing to commence discussions about returning the public hospital at Northern Beaches Hospital (NBH) to the NSW public system, consistent with the project deed.

Healthscope today announced it intends to stop offering maternity services at Hobart Private Hospital from 20 August 2025 due to ongoing workforce challenges.

Healthscope today announced it intends to cease offering maternity services at Darwin Private Hospital from 17 April 2025.

Healthscope and Bupa are pleased to announce they have reached a two-year in-principle agreement that recognises the sustainability challenges facing private hospitals while keeping hospital care affordable.

Following Bupa and the Australian Health Services Alliance (AHSA)’s refusal to acknowledge the viability crisis impacting private hospitals by addressing Healthscope’s funding concerns, Healthscope has today advised that it has no choice but to terminate its contracts with these funds.

Members of Bupa and the Australian Health Service Alliance (AHSA) will be charged an out-of-pocket fee at Healthscope hospitals from 26th November 2024, due to these insurers’ failure to sustainably cover the cost of patient care. Healthscope wanted to avoid this outcome, however funding from Bupa and the AHSA is not sustainably covering the cost of hospital treatments. The fee will only apply to Bupa and The AHSA members funds and go towards covering a patient’s high-quality care.
