Asset Management

Health Infrastructure on behalf of NSW Health established a state-wide asset management framework that is fit for purpose, sustainable, adaptable and optimises assets for the provision of health services to patients and communities. 
 
Health Infrastructure led the creation of the framework in partnership with Ministry of Health, Local Health Districts and other health entities, including eHealth and HealthShare. As part of the framework, the team implemented the Asset Management Maturity Assessment Program to improve compliance, which has now become NSW Health’s business-as-usual.   
 
The framework shifted the focus to a whole of life view of acquiring, operating, maintaining and disposing of healthcare assets - from building hospitals and health facilities to sustaining hospitals and health facilities. This way, we can help ensure NSW Health improves asset performance and, therefore, health outcomes for the people of NSW. 
 
To achieve this new focus, environmental, social and financial sustainability requirements have been embedded into the planning, design, delivery and management of our assets. This ensures we achieve our commitments against the NSW Government’s sustainability targets and our assets are resilient to the changing operating environment.
 
Concurrently we have achieved compliance with NSW Treasury’s Asset Management Policy for the NSW Public Sector. The policy aims to improve asset management through strengthening accountability, performance, and capability across the public sector.
 
Having undertaken and completed the above, from 1 July 2024 asset management program deliverables is the responsibility of Ministry of Health and the Local Health Districts/Networks.
