HealthShare Victoria

What HealthShare Victoria does

HealthShare Victoria (HSV) is a Victorian government statutory body established on 1 January 2021 under the Health Services Act 1988 (Vic) to provide state-wide end-to-end supply chain, procurement and shared services to all of Victoria's public hospitals and health services. It was formed by amalgamating Health Purchasing Victoria (HPV) and Melbourne Health's warehousing and logistics operations, with the Department of Health serving as its primary stakeholder and sponsor. The organisation is the sole centralised procurement and logistics body for the Victorian public health sector, operating under a statutory mandate rather than competitive market dynamics.

HSV's platform comprises the JAGGAER Procurement Portal (hosted by BravoSolution) for tender and contract management, the BravoSolution eSourcing System for procurement exercises, the Victorian Product Catalogue System (VPCS) for standardised product information, Oracle Financial Management Information System (FMIS) and Oracle Warehouse Management System (WMS), Qlik Sense for analytics, ECHO for eLearning, and EDI integration through Pacific Health Exchange for automated order processing. Two major physical assets underpin operations: the Derrimut Distribution Centre (22,500 sqm, opened December 2021, Victoria's largest public-health warehouse with 24,000+ pallet positions and capacity for 1,500-3,000 SKUs) and the Dandenong South Distribution Centre (operational from late 2024). Supply chain risk is supported by an in-house Risk Mapping Tool built on Microsoft Power BI that cross-references US Geological Survey earthquake data with known supplier manufacturing site locations to inform the Critical Supplies Register covering 1,000+ critical products.

HSV is funded by the Victorian Government through appropriations and service agreements with health services rather than direct user charges for core procurement and logistics services. It manages collective agreements across medical consumables, medicines, equipment, and services (security, bedding, meals), leveraging statewide purchasing volume to secure pricing individual health services could not obtain independently. Distribution is via direct delivery from HSV distribution centres to health services, including the Monash Health-integrated route from Dandenong South to Scoresby. Reported operational outcomes since 28 June 2021 include more than $35M in goods distributed and 21,600 pallets delivered to health services, a $75M equipment sourcing capital programme with $35.6M completed in 10 months to April 2024, and 47,772 vials of COVID antivirals ($27.2M) allocated to 41 health services. Headcount is in the 101-250 range with a recent up-to-24-role resizing tied to reduced planned funding and post-pandemic wind-down.
