History

edit

Healthscope is a private healthcare provider in Australia with 41 hospitals.[1]

Formed in 1985, the Healthscope Group has a long history in the private health care industry, and was initially listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) in 1994.

In October 2010 the Healthscope business was acquired by a consortium of funds, advised and managed by TPG Capital and The Carlyle Group and was subsequently de-listed from the ASX. Following a period of successful growth under private ownership, the Healthscope business was re-listed on the ASX on 28 July 2014.

In July 2015 Healthscope sold its Australian Pathology division to Crescent Capital Partners.[2]

In August 2017, Healthscope sold their Medical Centres portfolio to Singapore-based Fullerton Healthcare.[3]

On 6 June 2019, Canadian firm Brookfield Business Partners LLP announced completion of its takeover of Healthscope.[4] Brookfield partnered with institutional investors including the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, and the CDPQ maintains a minority stake in Healthscope.[5]
