Equipment finance for public hospitals in NSW — recoverable, asset-deployment model

Charitable Asset Deployment Agreement (CADA) is the canonical model for clinical-equipment finance: the funder buys and retains ownership of the equipment, the hospital operates it from day one, voluntary contributions tied to clinical revenue recover the principal over the agreed term. The hospital never carries the asset on its balance sheet, the funder never loses control, and the capital recycles into the next deployment.

The instrument

Charitable Asset Deployment Agreement (CADA)

Asset finance for charities — the funder buys the equipment, retains ownership, lets the charity operate it. Voluntary contribution recovery.

How it cycles

Step 1

Funder acquires

Funder buys the asset directly. Title and ownership stay with the funder throughout.

Step 2

Recipient operates

Asset deployed at the recipient's site under the deployment agreement. They use it day one, no balance-sheet impact.

Step 3

Voluntary recovery

A revenue-tied voluntary contribution recovers the asset cost over its useful life. Capital recycles.

Why this audience

Why public hospitals carry this structural problem

Capital budgets are politically slow; equipment that drives clinical revenue often waits 12–24 months for state allocation.

DGR profile: DGR Item 1 endorsement plus PBI status — direct recoverable-grant pathway is fully open.
