Aspen Medical has recently signed an extension on two of its major Australian Defence Force (ADF) healthcare contracts for the Albury/Wodonga and Puckapunyal Military Areas. The contracts are now extended until June 2012, with options for extensions for a further two years.

 

Albury/Wodonga and Puckapunyal are the only two ADF sites in Australia where the complete health services are contracted out to a civilian contractor. Aspen Medical provides or manages all health services, from primary care, to diagnostics (pathology and radiology), allied health (such as pharmacy and physiotherapy), rehabilitation and secondary care.

 

Aspen Medical has been contracted by the ADF to provide these services in Puckapunyal since 2005, and Albury/Wodonga since 2007. The relationship between Aspen Medical and the ADF has given, and continues to provide, great value for money and exposes the ADF to the complementary benefits of the best civilian and military medicine experiences Aspen Medical has to offer. Aspen Medical has been able to bring its international experience to deliver world class services in both Puckapunyal and Albury/Wodonga.

 

“Aspen Medical is proud to receive this contract extension for two of our most important projects” said Glenn Keys, Managing Director of Aspen Medical. “It is firm evidence of Aspen’s commitment to quality and customer satisfaction, which is confirmed by the ADF’s selection of Aspen to continue to provide these services.”
