Medibank Health Solutions wins Chevron Australia contract
Medibank Health Solutions has won a contract to deliver medical personnel and services for Chevron Australia’s operations and projects on Barrow and Thevenard islands.
4 March 2010
The five-year contract will see Medibank Health Solutions' doctors, nurses and physiotherapists deliver services to both construction and operational staff on the both islands.
Medibank Managing Director, George Savvides, believes the contract reinforces the integrated health solutions offering that Health Solutions provides.
“Securing this contract through our Health Solutions division is a big win for Medibank, and a reflection of the quality of medical support delivered by Health Services Australia,” Mr Savvides said.
“Medibank Health Solutions will be providing an all encompassing medical service for injury treatment and management, injury prevention programs, drug and alcohol testing, health education and a General Practitioner (GP) service for non-work related injuries and illnesses.”
As part of the contract Medibank will partner with St John Ambulance to ensure the availability of industrial paramedics.
Over the past few years Medibank has expanded to become much more than just a health insurer. Through the merger with Health Services Australia Medibank now employs over 1,000 doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, psychologists and other practitioners which enable us to deliver a comprehensive suite of medical and support services via our Health Solutions division.
