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

Victorian public hospitals carry constant clinical-equipment renewal pressure that the state capital budget can't pace. CADA gives the funder a way to deploy at the speed of need — own the asset, let the hospital run it, recover principal from clinical-revenue uplift. The Royal Children's, the Alfred, Austin Health all sit in scope.

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.
