Healthscope has appointed restructuring experts at KordaMentha to prepare a contingency plan in case the country’s second-largest private hospital operator is placed into voluntary administration.
The company was acquired by Canadian investment giant Brookfield in 2019 but has struggled under a debt pile that has reached $1.6 billion. Healthscope has been negotiating with its lenders and has previously warned it may have breached the conditions of those loans.
Two people who had been briefed on the appointment said Healthscope had sought advice from KordaMentha, which specialises in restructuring and insolvency and is currently administering the collapsed Whyalla steelworks, in preparation for any possible voluntary administration.
