The New South Wales Department of Health has selected InfraShore, the consortium in which ISS Facility Services Australia (ISS) is a major partner, for the 28 year, AU $721 million Royal North Shore Hospital (RNSH) PPP.

Over the coming years, all “soft services” within the redevelopment of Royal North Shore Hospital will be run and operated by ISS. This will include the full range of cleaning, catering, ward support, security, property services and grounds maintenance, as well as several other services, necessary to operate the 600 bed Acute Hospital and its 28 operating suites.

Charles Blinkworth , ISS CEO, said that, “Our selection for the Royal North Shore Hospital PPP demonstrates not only our ability to provide the highest level of service to the health sector, but our capacity to partner with even the largest of clients and meet their needs over any period of time”.

John Della Bosca, New South Wales Minister for Health, said that “The Royal North Shore Hospital redevelopment follows a detailed review of designs and extensive consultation with clinical and health staff. The redevelopment will maintain and enhance the Hospital’s reputation as one of the nation’s leading health care facilities”.

“It’s a terrific example of working with the private sector to deliver brand new state-of-the-art health facilities for the best possible price,” he added.

Dean Campbell , ISS Commercial Director, commented that, “We are proud to be associated with such an iconic project. To be part of what will arguably be one of the best hospitals in Australia is a very proud moment for all parties associated with the proposed facility”.

Mr Della Bosca continued, “The preferred bid for the new hospital offers an opportunity to meet the needs and expectations of patients, the community and our healthcare workforce”.
