About us

Eastern Health undertook a procurement reform process during 2015-16 to improve its procurement functions. As part of the process, Eastern Health confirmed that from 20th June 2016, it complies with the new (mandatory) Health Purchasing Victoria (HPV) Health Purchasing Policy. More information on procurement including a link to the HPV policies can be found on the HPV website.

In line with its values, Eastern Health has described how it will relate with other organisations, and also what it expects from those organisations it deals with, in its Statement of Business Ethics.
