As a result of the COVID pandemic in March 2020, the Commonwealth Government suspended elective surgeries across Australia.
The New South Wales government committed to underpin the viability of private operators during the term in exchange for pandemic support services as directed by the States.
The NSW Health Covid-19 Partnership Agreement between State of NSW and individual Private Hospital Operators, normally an 18-month program of work, was developed by Paxon in 3 weeks.
Paxon coordinated and engaged with over 120 Private facility operators seeking to aid the State whilst also ensuring the financial viability of the private hospitals was maintained over the impacted period.
