Royal Women’s Hospital
The Royal Women’s Hospital in Melbourne is a 25-year availability-based PPP between the Victorian Government and Royal Women’s Health Partnership.
Operational since June 2008, it is Australia’s first and largest specialist hospital dedicated to women’s and newborns’ health. Located in the Melbourne Biomedical Precinct, the hospital provides 250,000 episodes of care and supports the birth of more than 7,000 babies annually. Services include maternity, gynecology, oncology, neonatal care, and mental health.
The portfolio company is responsible for non-clinical services such as maintenance, cleaning, security, and parking, while the State delivers clinical services.
Sustainability
The Royal Women’s Hospital Partnership (the Portfolio Company), in partnership with its project partners, has proactively prioritised utilities conservation to support patient care and reduce its carbon footprint.
The Portfolio Company has previously invested A$80,000 to upgrade carpark lighting and double bike parking, cutting energy costs and achieving nearly A$1 million in savings over 10–15 years. These efforts is expected to reduce CO₂ emissions by approx. 5,550 tonnes.
