Hobart Private Hospital Tender

• Hobart Private Hospital is a key health asset with an important role to play in health service delivery in Tasmania.
• After a rigorous, open and competitive process, Healthscope was selected as the preferred operator of the Hobart Private Hospital.

In-principal agreement

The long-term contract is subject to final negotiations, but Healthscope and the Government have an in-principal agreement that will see:

• a greater return to Tasmania
• improved integration between the Royal Hobart Hospital and the Hobart Private Hospital
• increased capital investment in the site
• improved delivery and continuity of services in line with the Government’s strategic health objectives.

The conclusion of this process will allow the delivery of critical health services to Tasmanians in a way that:

• offers value for the taxpayer
• integrates and complements services already provided by the Department of Health (Tasmania).
