Chairman’s message
Our vision is to be a
recognised leader of quality
private healthcare services.
In delivering our vision, we
know that when we provide
service excellence for medical
professionals and our patients,
everything else takes care of
itself. Healthscope operates in
an environment where safety
and quality are paramount,
comfortably balanced against
our responsibility to shareholders
and stakeholders.
8 | healthscope annual report 2015
It gives me great pleasure to present the 2015 Annual Report
for Healthscope Limited.
In July 2014, Healthscope successfully re-listed on the Australian
Securities Exchange following a period of private equity
ownership. Over the past year, Healthscope has delivered on
its Prospectus earnings forecasts, continued to build on its strong
pipeline of growth projects and, most importantly, delivered
the highest standards of healthcare to almost 10 million
patients in Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia.
In response to the growing demand for private hospital
services in Australia, we have expanded our pipeline of
“brownfield” and “relocate and grow” projects to increase
capacity at our existing hospitals. Significant construction
activity is currently underway across the portfolio with
a range of projects completing in the second half of FY16.
Our commitment to excellence in the quality of clinical
outcomes and our ability to design, build and operate
world-class facilities was also recognised during the year with
Healthscope being awarded the contract by the New South
Wales Government to design, build, operate and maintain
the new 450 overnight bed Northern Beaches Hospital in
Sydney. Construction has commenced on this landmark
project, with the hospital scheduled to open in December
2018. We are excited to be partnering with the New South
Wales Government and we look forward to delivering a state
of the art hospital to the Northern Beaches community.
FY15 was a successful year for our international pathology
division. this division provides exposure to the rapidly
developing Asian healthcare markets through our operations
in Singapore, Malaysia and vietnam, and is the market
leader for the provision of community pathology services in
New Zealand. We continued our track record of delivering
strong growth in FY15 and in April 2015 we were awarded a
new contract in New Zealand to provide pathology services
to three District Health Boards in the Greater Wellington area.
this new contract will underpin further growth in FY16.
In contrast to our international pathology division,
our Australian pathology operations continued to face
challenging market conditions and its contribution to our
underlying earnings in FY15 was limited. Following several
years of underperformance, we closed our Queensland
pathology operations in February 2015 and, on 6 July 2015,
we divested our remaining Australian pathology operations1.
this divestment allows the Board and management to focus
our time and resources on the areas of our core business
where we can deliver the most value to our shareholders
Financial highlights
Healthscope reported Group Operating Earnings Before
Interest, tax and Depreciation (EBItDA) of $388.3m in
FY15, representing an increase of 8.7% on FY14 and 0.3%
higher than the Prospectus forecast of $387.3m. Operating
Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) of $153.1m was significantly
higher than FY14 and 4.0% above the Prospectus forecast of
$147.2m. Healthscope’s hospitals and international pathology
divisions were both strong contributors to the result.
Healthscope announced a final unfranked dividend of
3.7 cents per share for the second half of the year, payable
on 29 September 2015 for shareholders registered at
14 September 2015. this takes the full year dividend for
FY15 to 7.0 cents per share, representing a payout ratio
of 70% of Pro-Forma NPAt2.
We also delivered a strong cashflow result with Group Operating
EBITDA to cashflow conversion of 97.3% and our gearing at
year end was 2.47 times Net Debt to Group Operating EBItDA.
Healthscope’s commitment to quality
Healthscope is proud of its commitment to the quality of
clinical outcomes. the standards we set for ourselves are
higher than those expected by regulatory bodies or industry
benchmarks. through the MyHealthscope initiative, we were
the first private hospital operator in Australia to publicly
report quality and clinical indicators and we outperform the
public sector and our private peers on the vast majority of
these indicators. We remain committed to public reporting
of quality indicators and look forward to more transparency
across the industry. Our highly committed local site based
teams, are supported by an experienced head office quality
team, and our intensive quality, safety and compliance
programs will ensure that we continue to set the benchmark
for market leading quality practices into the future.
Governance and sustainability
the Board is committed to conducting Healthscope’s
business in accordance with high standards of corporate
governance and with a view to creating and delivering value
for Healthscope’s shareholders. Information about the key
features of Healthscope’s governance framework, as well
as reporting against the Corporate Governance Principles
and Recommendations (3rd edition) published by the ASX
Corporate Governance Council, is provided in Healthscope’s
Corporate Governance Statement, which is available in
the Investor Centre on Healthscope’s website. In addition,
Healthscope has published for the first time this year its
Sustainability Report, which outlines our performance in
relation to the key social, environmental and governance
areas. this report is available in the Sustainability section
on Healthscope’s website.
Our people
I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow
Directors, the Healthscope management team led by
our Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer,
Mr Robert Cooke, and our 17,000 employees for their
contribution to Healthscope. the last 12 months have been
very successful for Healthscope thanks to the dedication
and commitment of our people. I would particularly like to
thank the Healthscope staff and doctors for their individual
contributions towards the outstanding care and clinical
outcomes provided to our patients.
the future
Healthscope will continue to focus on providing quality
services and excellent clinical outcomes across our hospitals,
international pathology and medical centre operations.
We will also advance the strategies we have in place to
drive strong growth and operational efficiencies.
In response to the growing demand for private hospital
services, the Board is committed to expanding Healthscope’s
existing portfolio of hospitals. As the public health system
comes under increasing pressure, Healthscope is keen to
work with the State and Federal Governments to explore
further opportunities where Healthscope can play
a role in the delivery of public healthcare services.
We are now in our expansion phase, with 10 projects under
construction and five projects approved which will deliver
980 new beds and 50 new theatres by the end of calendar
year 2018, representing more than a 20% increase on
Healthscope’s current bed numbers. We also expect that
additional projects will be added to this pipeline over time,
given the favourable demand dynamics and significant
growth potential within our hospital portfolio. It is intended
to fund these projects through the strong operating cashflows
generated from our businesses and existing debt capacity.
the immediate focus is on expanding our existing
operations, including exploring opportunities to add to
our established pathology presence in the rapidly growing
South East Asian healthcare markets. Leveraging off this
base, Healthscope is also exploring hospital management
opportunities in the region.
I would like to thank shareholders for their support of
Healthscope and I invite you to join the Board and the senior
leadership team for our Annual General Meeting, which will
be held in Melbourne on Monday 23 November 2015.

MD & CEO’s message
Healthscope’s strong FY15
performance reflects the
quality of our businesses,
a clearly articulated growth
strategy, and the commitment
of our employees and doctors
to delivering high standards
of clinical care to patients
across our facilities.
10 | healthscope annual report 2015
I am pleased to report that Healthscope has had a successful
year following its re-listing on the Australian Securities
Exchange on 28 July 2014. We delivered on the FY15
Prospectus earnings forecasts and our well established
operational and growth strategies remain unchanged and
on track, providing a strong platform for the future. Most
importantly, we have continued to provide high quality
healthcare to the thousands of patients treated at our
facilities each day.
In FY15, Healthscope delivered Group revenue growth
of 4.8% to $2,438.2m and Group Operating EBItDA
growth of 8.7% to $388.3m. Each of our core businesses
performed well during the year, achieving organic growth
and operational efficiencies. Excluding the impact of
Healthscope’s divested Australian pathology operations1,
Healthscope’s continuing operations delivered revenue
growth of 5.8% to $2,156.6m and Operating EBItDA
growth of 10.0% to $380.8m.
FY15 was also a period of significant capital investment
as we expand Healthscope’s hospital portfolio to meet the
growing demand for private hospital services in Australia.
Hospitals
Over 80% of Healthscope’s FY15 Operating EBItDA from
continuing operations was generated by our hospital division,
and it was pleasing that this division reported a strong result
for FY15, with revenue growth of 5.7% to $1,852.5m, and
Operating EBItDA growth of 10.4% to $327.6m.
Robust underlying market growth underpinned increased
volumes, rate increases from private health insurance funds
and changes to case-mix also contributed to overall
revenue growth.
Whilst this was a good result, FY15 was largely a year of
organic growth, only 23 new beds opened over the last two
years, resulting in volume growth being limited at some of
our key hospitals due to capacity constraints. Where possible,
these capacity constraints will be addressed by our current
hospital expansion program.
the hospital division Operating EBItDA margin
increased by 80 basis points to 17.7% for the year. this
strong margin uplift reflects revenue growth, combined
with continued progress in relation to our labour and
procurement initiatives.
Labour is the most significant cost for a hospital operator,
and we have put considerable effort into labour management
in recent years. This has included more effective rostering
and an increased focus on nursing recruitment and retention
to ensure we have an appropriately skilled and flexible
workforce to meet the needs of our patients and doctors.
MD & CEO’s message
Procurement has also been a major area of focus, with a
centralised procurement function responsible for liaising
with suppliers and working with individual hospitals and
doctors to make the purchasing function more efficient and
better aligned to the specific needs of our business. As part
of this process, over the last two years, Healthscope has also
developed a direct sourcing strategy for a selection of generic
consumables from Asia. Whilst this strategy is in its infancy,
the quality of the products has been very well received by
our doctors and nurses.
International pathology
Healthscope’s international pathology division consists
of pathology businesses in New Zealand, Singapore
and Malaysia, with a smaller presence in vietnam.
this division’s track record of strong growth continued
in FY15, with revenue growth of 8.5% to $243.2m
and Operating EBItDA growth of 13.7% to $60.0m.
All countries contributed to the positive result, reflecting
the attractive industry dynamics and experienced
management teams in each region.
Healthscope’s New Zealand pathology business comprises a
number of long-term contracts with District Health Boards
(DHBs), with revenue growth largely reflective of growth in
these contracts. this business delivered revenue growth of
5.5% and Operating EBItDA growth of 9.5% during the
period2. Revenue growth translated into earnings growth
through improved laboratory efficiencies and workflow
management. In April 2015, Healthscope was also awarded
a new contract to provide hospital and community pathology
services to the three DHBs in the Greater Wellington
region of New Zealand. Healthscope now holds pathology
contracts with 13 of the 20 DHBs in New Zealand.
the Singapore pathology business delivered revenue growth
of 7.9% and Operating EBItDA growth of 5.9% in FY152,
reflecting continued growth in the specialist and commercial
contract segments and continued labour efficiencies
which were partially offset by increased rent from further
laboratory investment.
the Malaysian pathology business recorded revenue growth
of 0.4% and Operating EBItDA growth of 17.6% for the
period2. Episode volume growth was impacted by market
factors, including a reduction in health screening for foreign
workers and implementation of a GSt policy in April 2015.
However, improved cost efficiencies and the benefit of the
prior year having been unfavourably impacted by doubtful
debts provisioning resulted in strong earnings uplift.
Medical centres
Healthscope’s medical centre operations recorded revenue
growth of 0.8% to $60.9m and Operating EBItDA growth
of 0.3% to $15.0m in FY15.
Australian pathology
the Australian pathology operations recorded a 2.4%
decrease in revenue in FY15, to $281.6m, and a decrease
in Operating EBItDA of 32.7% to $7.5m.
During the year we made the decision to close our
loss making Queensland pathology operations and we
announced the sale of the remaining Australian pathology
operations which completed on 6 July 2015.
Our culture and people
Healthcare is a special business. What we do at work each
day impacts the lives of our patients and, by extension,
their families, often significantly.
Quality healthcare relies upon the knowledge, skills, empathy
and dedication of our people. We know that there are many
inspiring examples of remarkable service delivered by our
staff every day that truly make a difference to the quality of
care that our patients receive and the services and support
provided to our doctors.
Our people know that we only have a business if we continue
to provide high quality clinical outcomes and patient care.
Healthscope’s vision reflects this sentiment. Our STAR
values (Service Excellence, teamwork & Integrity, Aspiration
and Responsibility) underpin everything we do.
Over the last three years, we have implemented a
decentralised structure to promote grassroots accountability
and responsibility. this has been accompanied by a broad
range of leadership training programs and other initiatives to
enhance skill development and engage Healthscope leaders
and staff. The success of these measures is reflected in
significant improvements in staff retention, as well as doctor
and patient satisfaction. We are also focused on our future
workforce, and in FY15, we provided 60,000 placement days
for nursing and allied health students.
I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the
tremendous work and commitment of Healthscope’s over
17,000 employees, and the more than 17,000 doctors who provide
outstanding care and service in our healthcare facilities.

MD & CEO’s message
continued
Healthscope’s commitment to the quality
of clinical outcomes
At Healthscope, we are extremely proud of our market
leading reputation for the quality of clinical outcomes.
Healthscope is the industry leader in quality and safety,
exceeding our peers on the vast majority of industry
benchmarks. We have unique processes and systems around
quality, safety, compliance and incident management
ensuring that each patient who enters a Healthscope facility
receives high quality clinical care and the best possible
outcome. the safety and quality agenda is owned by our
nursing and allied health staff at the bedside – supported
by a highly experienced head office team, responsible for
providing leadership, facilitation and monitoring.
Healthscope is committed to the transparent reporting of
quality outcomes and in 2011 launched the MyHealthscope
website, which publicly reports on 22 key performance
indicators by hospital, and for the group. Not only does
MyHealthscope showcase the exceptional quality of our
clinical outcomes, it has been an important tool for
attracting medical professionals, nursing staff and patients
to our hospitals, and has helped us build deeper strategic
relationships with private health insurance funds.
Many private health insurance funds are prepared to reward
outstanding quality in relation to clinical outcomes, in
recognition of the superior experience for their members
and the resultant financial benefits for the private health
insurance funds. We currently have some Pay for Quality
initiatives with private health insurance funds and intend
to work with the insurers to further develop links between
quality and funding.
In conclusion, Healthscope’s strong performance reflects
the quality of our businesses, a clearly articulated growth
strategy, and the commitment of our employees and doctors
to delivering high standards of clinical care to patients across
our facilities. I would like to thank you for your support
during the year and I look forward to the journey ahead
as Healthscope enters a very exciting growth phase.

Review of operations
Principal activities
Healthscope is one of Australia’s leading healthcare
providers, with 451 private hospitals and 52 medical centres
and skin clinics across Australia, and is a leading provider
of pathology services in New Zealand, Singapore and
Malaysia. Healthscope also previously owned and operated
an Australian pathology business, which was divested on
6 July 2015.
Healthscope was originally formed in 1985 and listed on the
Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) in 1994. In October
2010, the Healthscope business was acquired by a consortium
of funds advised and managed by TPG and The Carlyle
Group and subsequently de-listed from the ASX. On 28 July
2014, Healthscope was re-listed on the ASX. TPG and
Carlyle retained a 38% shareholding in Healthscope
following the IPO, which was subject to an escrow
period concluding on 25 August 2015.
Hospitals
Healthscope is Australia’s second largest private hospital
operator with a portfolio of 451 private hospitals and over
4,400 beds nationwide. Of the 45 hospitals Healthscope
operates, 30 facilities are owned by Healthscope, 12 are
leased by Healthscope and three are managed on behalf
of Adelaide Community Healthcare Alliance (ACHA).
Healthscope’s private hospital portfolio comprises 32 acute
hospitals, seven psychiatric hospitals and six rehabilitation
and extended care facilities. The hospital portfolio includes
large high acuity hospitals, with 11 co-located with public
teaching hospitals.
The hospitals are concentrated in Australia’s large
metropolitan centres with a presence in every State
and Territory.
In 2003, Healthscope entered into an agreement with ACHA
to manage three acute hospitals in South Australia. ACHA
is a not-for-profit community health organisation based in
South Australia, and is the largest private hospital group in
that State. Healthscope is responsible for daily management
of the hospitals’ operations, while ACHA retains responsibility
for strategic direction and governance.
1. Includes latrobe private Hospital, which Healthscope commenced
operating on 14 July 2015.
Healthscope has over 17,000 Accredited Medical
Practitioners registered within our hospital network
across Australia. The patients of these Accredited
Medical Practitioners are the main source of admissions
into Healthscope hospitals, and Healthscope hospitals have
a range of attributes that are attractive to Accredited Medical
Practitioners, including high quality facilities in attractive
locations, high quality nursing staff, industry leading quality
and clinical outcomes, on site consulting suites and a
number of other support services.
All of Healthscope’s hospitals are accredited under the
National Safety and Quality Health Services Standards, and
Healthscope prides itself on providing market leading quality
and clinical outcomes. Healthscope reports 22 quality and
clinical outcomes publicly on the MyHealthscope website,
and outperforms the industry benchmark and its peers on
the vast majority of indicators.
International pathology
Healthscope’s international pathology division operates in
New Zealand, Malaysia and Singapore with a small presence
in Vietnam.
New Zealand
The New Zealand community pathology market is primarily
based on exclusive contracts between pathology providers
and government funded District Health Boards (DHBs).
Healthscope trades under the Labtests, SCL and Northland
brands. Healthscope also operates a veterinary pathology
business in New Zealand, which trades as Gribbles
Veterinary.
Healthscope holds DHB contracts in 13 of the 20 DHB
regions, including community pathology contracts for the
major cities of Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.
Healthscope’s largest contract covers the greater Auckland
region through Labtests Auckland which commenced in
September 2009 and expires in September 2020.
Malaysia
Healthscope, operating as Gribbles Pathology, is one of the
largest community pathology providers in Malaysia, with 28
laboratories across the country. These laboratories serviced
over 1.5 million patient episodes for the year ended 30
June 2015. Revenue is sourced from general practitioners,
hospitals and government/corporate programs.

Principal activities (continued)
Singapore
In Singapore, Healthscope, operating as Quest Laboratories, is one of the largest community pathology providers.
Healthscope has one central laboratory supported by two satellite laboratories, which serviced approximately 1.5 million
patient episodes for the year ended 30 June 2015. The Singaporean operations service General Practitioners, specialists
and corporate screening clients.
Vietnam
In Vietnam, Healthscope manages one laboratory in a private hospital outside Ho Chi Minh City specialising in women’s
and children’s health. Given its size, this laboratory is managed as part of the Singaporean business.
Medical centres
Healthscope owns and operates 47 medical centres and five specialist skin cancer clinics around Australia, providing
serviced medical centres to approximately 420 General Practitioners2.
General Practitioners that operate in Healthscope’s medical centres are not employed by Healthscope, but instead negotiate
a service agreement with each individual medical centre. Under this agreement, Healthscope provides General Practitioners
with practice management services which typically include access to a consulting room at a serviced medical centre, nursing
staff and other administrative support. As part of that arrangement, General Practitioners pay Healthscope a service fee
which is expressed as a percentage of the General Practitioners’ patient billings.
Australian pathology
Prior to 6 July 2015, Healthscope operated an Australian pathology business which included 30 laboratories and 560
collection centres across Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia and the Northern Territory3. Previously, Healthscope
also had pathology operations in Queensland which were closed in February 2015.

1. FY15 results have been presented before other income and expense items (“non-operating items”) of $12.2 million (tax effected) in order to present the
underlying trading performance of the business. FY14 results have been presented before non-operating items of $62.9 million (tax effected) on the same
basis.
The FY15 Operating EBITDA result of $388.3 million represents 8.7% year on year growth, with growth driven by the
hospitals and international pathology divisions. Operating EBIT of $286.9 million was recorded, an increase of 9.4% on
the previous year. The FY15 Net Profit After Tax of $140.9 million, compares to a net loss after tax of $183.2 million in FY14.

interest expense in FY15 due to the post IPO capital structure.

EBITDA growth of 13.7% to $60.0 million. The international pathology EBITDA margin increased by 120 basis points to 24.7%
in the year ended 30 June 2015. All countries within the international pathology division contributed to the increase in earnings.
New Zealand
The New Zealand pathology business delivered revenue growth of 5.5% and EBITDA growth of 9.5% in the year ended
30 June 2015. Revenue growth was principally attributable to an increase in revenue under existing contracts, the full year
impact of the Diagnostic Medlab business which was acquired in October 2013 and revenue from services provided to the
Greater Wellington region from May 2015. The increase in EBITDA was largely driven by the revenue growth outlined above
and improved laboratory efficiencies and procurement benefits.
Singapore
The Singapore pathology business delivered revenue growth of 7.9% and EBITDA growth of 5.9% in the year ended 30 June
2015, reflecting continued growth in the specialist and commercial contract segments combined with labour efficiencies,
partly offset by increased rent from further laboratory investment.
Malaysia
The Malaysian pathology business recorded revenue growth of 0.4% and EBITDA growth of 17.6% in the year ended 30
June 2015. Revenue growth was reflective of limited growth across the market which was impacted by a reduction in health
screening programs and implementation of a GST policy during the year. EBITDA growth was delivered through efficiency
improvements and also benefited from FY14 results having been unfavourably impacted by doubtful debts provisioning.

The medical centres business recorded revenue growth of 0.8% to $60.9 million in the year ended 30 June 2015. The relatively

resulting in changes to the fee splits for doctors, which largely offset the benefits of fee increases and strong growth in
vaccine sales.
The medical centres business recorded EBITDA growth of 0.3% to $15.0 million in the year ended 30 June 2015. The benefits
from efficiencies realised from labour and procurement initiatives were largely offset by the changes in fee splits with doctors
outlined above.
The EBIT increase of 16.8% to $8.7 million reflects the operating performance of the business outlined above and lower

Directors’ report
Review of operations (continued)
Divisional FY15 financial performance (continued)
The Australian pathology division revenue decreased by 2.4% to $281.6 million in the year ended 30 June 2015.
The decrease in revenue principally reflects the decrease in revenue from the Queensland business which was closed
in February 2015 and the impact of the Medicare fee reduction on 1 November 2014, which more than offset the
organic volume growth recorded by the business.
The Australian pathology division EBITDA decreased by 32.7% to $7.5 million in the year ended 30 June 2015, with continued
progress on labour and procurement efficiencies being offset by the Medicare fee reduction and continued rent pressure.
These operations were divested on 6 July 2015 for total consideration of $105 million1.
Financial position
The Group has a strong financial position with $4 billion in assets underpinned by $2.3 billion of shareholder funds. With
positive working capital and a gearing ratio of 29.4%, the Group has capacity to fund future growth. There is $155 million in
unrestricted cash reserves and $300 million in loans available to fund the Group’s expansion plans. Capital requirements for
the Gold Coast and Northern Beaches developments are secured via project finance debt facilities.
Cashflow
Cash generated from operations of $377.6 million represents an increase of 3.3% on FY14 resulting in cash conversion
(cash generated from operations/EBITDA) of 97.3%. Cash conversion on Continuing Operations was 99.2%.
Total capital expenditure of $362.8 million was $207.3 million higher than FY14 primarily driven by increased brownfield
capital investment associated with the Company’s hospital expansion program. Construction on the Northern Beaches
Hospital project also commenced during the year.
Business strategies and prospects for future years
Healthscope has a range of operational and growth strategies for each of its businesses, and these, together with favourable
industry dynamics across each of the markets in which the Company operates, provide a strong outlook for growth.
Key strategies for each of Healthscope’s businesses are outlined below.

Organic growth
Organic growth will continue to benefit from increasing demand for private hospital services, coupled with the delivery of
further operational improvements in relation to case mix and continued efficiencies resulting from labour and procurement
initiatives.
Healthscope will also continue to focus on delivering market leading quality and clinical outcomes and the promotion of
transparent reporting of these and will continue to work collaboratively with health funds to explore additional pay for quality
opportunities.
Brownfields and “Relocate and Grow” projects
Healthscope has significant experience in designing and building private hospital facilities, and is well positioned to expand
its hospital facilities to meet additional patient demand through brownfield projects and relocate and grow projects.
1. Includes proceeds from Healthscope’s agreement to sell six of its skin clinics as part of the pathology transaction.
28 | healthscope annual report 2015
Brownfield projects are those where an existing hospital is
expanded through the addition of new beds and theatres,
and in some cases other additional infrastructure such as
consulting suites and car parking. “Relocate and Grow”
projects involve the construction of a new hospital close
to an existing hospital and the transferal of services from
the existing hospital to the new facility which typically has
increased capacity and higher quality amenities.
Healthscope currently has nine brownfield and “Relocate
and Grow” projects currently under construction with a total
estimated project cost of over $600 million. These projects
are expected to start to deliver growth in bed numbers from
2H FY16 and beyond.
• National Capital Private Hospital (ACT) – 41 beds, 3 theatres
• Knox Private Hospital (VIC) – 60 beds
In December 2014, Healthscope entered into a contract
with the New South Wales Government to design, build,
operate and maintain the new Northern Beaches Hospital
in Sydney. The hospital will have 450 overnight beds, of
which approximately 60% will be utilised by public patients.
Construction of the hospital commenced in March 2015 and
the hospital is expected to be operational in late 2018.
International expansion
With growing demand for healthcare services in Asia,
Healthscope is actively assessing opportunities to leverage
our hospital management expertise in the region. The most likely
entry point into the Asian hospital market for Healthscope
would be through a management contract or joint venture,
which enables the leveraging of Healthscope’s operational
expertise, knowledge and training capabilities.
• Norwest Private Hospital (NSW) – 60 beds, 3 theatres
International pathology
• Gold Coast Private Hospital (QLD) – 284 beds, 13 theatres
(net increase 64 beds and 3 theatres)
New Zealand
• Holmesglen Private Hospital – 144 and 8 theatres
• John Fawkner Private Hospital – day surgery and
ED upgrade
• Geelong Private Hospital – 6 ICU beds
• Nepean Private Hospital – Hybrid theatre expansion
• Darwin Private Hospital – 2 theatres
In addition to projects under construction, Healthscope has
a further five projects that are Board approved and in the
final stages of planning.
• John Fawkner Private Hospital (VIC) – 42 beds, 2 theatres
• Sunnybank Private Hospital (QLD) – 2 theatres, consulting
suites, car parking, refurb
• Northpark Private Hospital (VIC) – Emergency department
• Frankston Private Hospital (VIC) – 60 beds, 2 theatres
• Brisbane Private Hospital (QLD) – 60 beds, 4 theatres,
day surgery and consulting suites
Healthscope has a number of other projects in planning
stages, and we expect the project pipeline to be added to
over time given the strong underlying demand dynamics and
the significant development potential within the portfolio.
Governments partnerships and outsourcing
In response to growing demand for healthcare services and
a public system under increasing pressure, it is expected
that State and Territory Governments will increasingly seek to
partner with private hospital operators for the construction and
operation of public hospitals, and outsourcing of some aspects
of service delivery to the private hospital sector. As Australia’s
second largest private hospital operator, with demonstrated
leadership in quality and clinical outcomes, Healthscope is well
positioned to capitalise on these opportunities.
The priority for Healthscope in New Zealand is to continue
to enhance its value proposition of high quality services and
superior operational efficiencies to the District Health Boards
(“DHBs”).
In March 2015, Healthscope was awarded a new contract
with three DHBs (Capital and Coast, Hutt Valley and
Wairarapa) which will drive additional growth in FY16.
Operationally, Healthscope is focused on extracting further
economies of scale benefits, including cost synergies,
through greater operational integration of its expanded
laboratory network.
Malaysia
In Malaysia, Healthscope has identified a number of
growth opportunities including pursuing additional hospital
outsourcing contracts and new screening packages for
community patients.
Healthscope operates 26 laboratories across Malaysia and
there are opportunities to improve workflow and efficiency
through automation, as well as more centralised testing
at the main laboratory. Opportunities for procurement
efficiencies are also being explored through leveraging
Healthscope’s group buying power.
Singapore
In Singapore, Healthscope is focused on greater penetration
in the hospitals and specialists segments. Healthscope has
identified potential for greater laboratory labour efficiencies
through benchmarking and increased laboratory automation.
In addition to labour efficiencies, further procurement savings
are being targeted by leveraging Healthscope’s group
purchasing power, consistent with our strategy in Malaysia.
healthscope annual report 2015 | 29
Directors’ report
Review of operations (continued)
Private health insurance funds
The majority of Heathscope’s revenue is derived from private
health insurance funds. The profitability of Healthscope’s
business is influenced by Healthscope’s ability to reach
ongoing commercial agreement with private health insurance
funds. Failure to reach a satisfactory commercial agreement
with a key private health insurance fund has the potential to
negatively impact the financial and operational performance
of Healthscope. Healthscope maintains a regular dialogue
with each of the private health insurance funds and
continues to work closely with them on various strategies,
including pay for quality initiatives, to deliver mutually
beneficial outcomes to both parties as part of our on-going
contract negotiations.
Private health insurance fund membership and
level of cover
A worsening economic climate, changes in economic
incentives, annual increases in private health insurance
premiums and other factors may cause the number of
members in private health insurance funds to fall or result
in members choosing to decrease their level of private
health insurance coverage, which has the potential to
reduce demand for Healthscope’s services, resulting in
decreased revenues.
If the profitability of private health insurance funds
deteriorates, there is a risk that private health insurance
funds may put increased pricing pressure on private hospital
operators such as Healthscope. Healthscope monitors
private health insurance participation rates and engages
with the private health insurers on a regular basis.
Relationships with Accredited Medical
Practitioners
Accredited Medical Practitioners tend to prefer to work at
hospitals that have high quality facilities, equipment, nursing
staff and clinical safety outcomes and are conveniently
located, amongst other factors. In the event Healthscope’s
hospitals become less attractive to Accredited Medical
Practitioners, there is a risk that Accredited Medical
Practitioners will cease to practice at Healthscope’s
hospitals or refer patients to Healthscope’s facilities. This,
in turn, would adversely impact Healthscope’s financial and
operational performance. Healthscope seeks to maintain a
strong relationship with its Accredited Medical Practitioners
through regular engagement to understand their preferences
and requirements and operates its hospital portfolio within
a strict quality and clinical framework to mitigate the risk of
poor quality and clinical outcomes.
Business strategies and prospects for future
years (continued)
Medical centres
In the medical centres business, additional efficiencies are
expected to be gained by maximising the number of patient
consultations at existing centres, increasing the focus on
cost management and strengthening the links between
Healthscope’s medical centres and hospitals divisions,
as well as the links between the medical centres and
private health insurance funds.
material business risks
Healthscope has a risk management framework in place
that facilitates the identification, assessment and reporting
of material business risks at a business and Group level.
Healthscope’s risk management framework is reviewed
annually by the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee,
and the Committee reports to the Board in relation to its
effectiveness. In addition, a Head of Assurance has been
recently appointed who is responsible for standardising
the approach to financial, strategic, emerging, clinical,
operational, safety, environmental and legal risks.
The material business risks that have the potential to impact
achievement of the Group’s strategic priorities and business
objectives, with relevant mitigation strategies, are outlined
below.
These risks should not be taken to be a complete or
exhaustive list of the risks and uncertainties associated with
Healthscope. Many of the risks are outside the control of
the Directors. There can be no guarantee that Healthscope
will achieve its stated objectives, that it will meet trading
performance or financial results guidance that it may provide
to the market, or that any forward looking statements
contained in this report will be realised or otherwise
eventuate.
We have not included below the more generic risk areas that
affect most companies or general economic factors that may
impact Healthscope.
Government policy and regulation
Healthscope operates in healthcare industries which are
subject to extensive laws and regulations relating to, among
other things, the conduct of operations, the licencing and
accreditation of facilities and the addition and development
of facilities and services. There are a number of government
policies and regulations that, if changed, may have a material
adverse impact on the financial and operational performance
of Healthscope. Healthscope monitors legislative and
regulatory developments and engages appropriately with
legislative and regulatory bodies to manage this risk.
30 | healthscope annual report 2015
Licences and accreditation
Insurance
If Healthscope is unable to secure or retain licences
or accreditations for the operation of its hospitals and
pathology laboratories (where required) in the future,
or any of its existing licences or accreditations are
adversely amended or revoked, this may adversely impact
Healthscope’s ability to operate its businesses. This risk
is mitigated by Healthscope’s comprehensive quality and
clinical framework which seeks to ensure that facilities are
maintained and operations are conducted to the standards
required to retain licences and accreditation.
Competition
There is a risk that the actions of Healthscope’s current
or potential future competitors will negatively affect
Healthscope’s ability to:
• Attract and retain Accredited Medical Practitioners
to practice in Healthscope’s hospitals;
• Successfully tender for District Health Board contracts
in New Zealand;
• Attract community pathology work in Singapore
or Malaysia; and
• Attract and retain General Practitioners to practice
in Healthscope’s medical centres.
Healthscope is focused on providing high quality healthcare
services across all its businesses and maintaining facilities
to a high standard, so it can effectively compete in its each
of its markets.
Nursing labour
The most significant cost in Healthscope’s hospital
operations is nursing labour. Increases in the cost of nursing
labour or tightening of supply for nursing labour could have a
material impact on the financial and operational performance
of Healthscope.
Healthscope has a comprehensive recruitment program for
nurses, including an active graduate recruitment program.
Healthscope employs a range of nurses with different levels
of experience and qualifications, so that nursing labour is
matched to clinical needs.
Medical indemnity claims and associated costs
Current or former patients may, in the normal course of
business, commence or threaten litigation for medical
negligence against Healthscope. Subject to indemnity
insurance arrangements, future medical malpractice
litigation, or threatened litigation, could have an adverse
impact on the financial performance and position and future
prospects of Healthscope. Healthscope actively monitors
and manages potential and actual claims and disputes.
Insurance coverage is maintained by Healthscope consistent
with industry practice, including workers compensation,
business interruption, property damage, public liability
and medical malpractice. However, no assurance can be
given that such insurance will be available in the future
on commercially reasonable terms or that any cover
will be adequate and available to cover all or any future
claims. Healthscope’s insurance coverage is managed by
an experienced team who works closely with respective
insurers, and also ensures that any claims are appropriately
handled.
Development projects
Healthscope enters into development projects in its regular
course of business such as brownfield and “Relocate and
Grow” hospital developments. There are a number of risks
associated with development projects, including business
disruption during construction, cost overruns, and delays in
anticipated revenues flowing from proposed developments.
Healthscope has project specific risk management
and reporting systems in place and the progress and
performance of material projects is regularly reviewed
by senior management and the Board.
New Zealand pathology contracts
Healthscope currently has contracts with 13 District Health
Boards for the provision of pathology services in New
Zealand. There is a risk that each time a contract becomes
due for renewal, the relevant District Health Board enters into
a new contract with another party or renews the contract
with Healthscope but on less favourable terms. The majority
of these contracts are multi-year contracts and Healthscope
seeks to maintain strong relationships with each of the
District Health Boards to mitigate the risk that a contract
is not renewed or renewed on unfavourable terms.
International expansion
Healthscope is exploring a range of international expansion
opportunities. There is no certainty that any of these
opportunities will result in new revenue streams and there is
a risk that any new business venture may not be successful
which could have a negative impact on Healthscope’s
financial results and reputation. Healthscope undertakes
comprehensive due diligence in relation to any prospective
acquisition or partnership and takes a disciplined approach
to investment of capital to mitigate these risks.

Operating EBITDA
Operating EBITDA represents profit before income tax expense, net finance costs, depreciation and amortisation adjusted
for certain revenue and expense items that are unrelated to the underlying performance of the business. The Company
believes that presenting Operating EBITDA provides a better understanding of its financial performance by facilitating a
more representative comparison of financial performance between financial periods.
Operating EBITDA is presented with reference to the Australian Securities and Investment Commission Regulatory Guide 230
“Disclosing non-IFRS financial information”.
Earnings per share (unaudited)
The directors have elected to present Earnings per Share (EPS) on both a statutory and pro forma basis. The calculation
of “Statutory EPS” is presented in NOTE 19. The calculation of “Pro forma EPS” is presented below.
Statutory EPS has been calculated in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards based on:
• Profit after tax attributable to shareholders (Statutory Profit); and
• The weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year ended 30 June 2015, which have been
applied retrospectively in calculating EPS for the comparative period. The diluted average number of ordinary shares
includes performance rights issued during the current year.
Pro forma EPS is a non-IFRS measure which has been calculated based on:
• “Operating EBITDA” which represents earnings before interest, taxation and, depreciation and amortisation,
adjusted on a pro forma basis for:
− The impacts arising from the change in debt profile upon IPO;
− Related income tax effect (Pro forma Profit); and
− Other income and expense items.
• The weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year ended 30 June 2015,
assuming the IPO of Healthscope Limited occurred on or prior to 1 July 2014:
− Basic: 1,732,094,838 (30 June 2014: 1,732,094,838)
− Diluted: 1,733,801,271 (30 June 2014: 1,732,094,838)
The presentation of Pro forma EPS reflects the in-substance continuation of the “Healthscope Aggregated Group” within
the financial report of Healthscope Limited, and is consistent with the basis of preparation adopted as disclosed within
NOTE 1 under the heading Group reorganisation and comparative information.
The Directors consider that the presentation of Pro forma EPS provides users with a better understanding of financial
performance and allows for a more relevant comparison of financial performance between financial periods.

State of affairs
Initial Public Offering of Healthscope Limited
On 30 June 2014, Healthscope Hospitals Holdings Pty. Ltd.,
the ultimate parent entity of the Healthscope Group, lodged
a Prospectus with the Australia Securities and Investments
Commission (“ASIC”) related to the listing and quotation of
its ordinary shares on the Australian Securities Exchange
(“ASX”) (the “Initial Public Offering” or “IPO”).
On 3 July 2014, Healthscope Hospitals Holdings Pty. Ltd.
became an unlisted public company and on 4 July 2014
changed its name to Healthscope Limited. The quotation of
Healthscope Limited occurred 28 July 2014 under the ASX
code: HSO, with shares trading on a conditional and deferred
basis. Normal trading commenced on 4 August 2014.
In conjunction with the IPO, a capital raising occurred by
way of an issue of 1,073.9 million Fully Paid Ordinary Shares
in Healthscope Limited at a price of $2.10 per share, being
$2,255.2 million. In addition, Healthscope Limited drew
down $995.0 million under its new banking facilities (before
transaction costs).
Proceeds from the capital raising received by Healthscope
Limited and the draw down on the new banking facilities
were used to:
• Repay existing liabilities of the Healthscope Group
including existing bank loans;
• Fund the redemption of Healthscope Notes I and
Healthscope Notes II (cash settlement portion);
• Fund the settlement of liabilities outside of the
Healthscope Group including shareholder loans and
costs of the IPO; and
• Repay equity to shareholders.
As a result of the redemption of Healthscope Notes I & II,
Healthscope Notes Limited was officially delisted from the
ASX on 12 August 2014.
Group reorganisation and comparative information
In preparation for the IPO of Healthscope Limited, two group
reorganisation transactions were undertaken which resulted
in Healthscope Limited acquiring 100% of the shares in:
− Healthscope Pathology Holdings Pty Ltd and its
controlled entities (“Pathology Australia”) on 29 June
2014; and
− CT HSP (Dutch) Cooperatief U.A. and its controlled
entities (“Pathology International”) on 28 July 2014.
34 | healthscope annual report 2015
These transactions occurred whilst Healthscope Limited,
Pathology Australia and Pathology International were under
the common control of CT Healthscope Holdings L.P. CT
Healthscope Holdings L.P was the legal parent entity of
the Healthscope business for the period from 12 October
2010 (the date the Healthscope business was acquired by a
consortium of funds advised and managed by TPG and The
Carlyle Group) until its IPO on 28 July 2014.
For consolidation purposes, the transactions have been
accounted for as business combinations between entities
under common control at carrying value. Consequently,
the assets and liabilities have not been remeasured to fair
value nor has any additional goodwill arisen. Accordingly,
the assets and liabilities of both Pathology Australia and
Pathology International continue to reflect their carrying
values as per the accounting records of CT Healthscope
Holdings L.P. immediately prior to acquisition by Healthscope
Limited. The difference between the consideration given and
the carrying value of the assets and liabilities acquired by
Healthscope Limited has been recognised within equity as
part of the “Group reorganisation reserve”.
Hospital acquisitions and disposals
On 1 July 2014, the Group acquired Frankston Private Day
Surgery and Peninsula Oncology Centre for $5 million.
On 22 July 2014, the Group disposed of its interests
in the Brisbane Waters Private Hospital for $20 million,
representing the carrying amount of the net assets.
Subsequent events
On 6 July 2015, Healthscope completed the sale of its
Australian pathology operations to Crescent Capital Partners
for A$105 million. As part of the sale, Healthscope have
also agreed to transfer six skin clinics from its Medical
Centre operations to Crescent. The consideration of A$105
million comprised cash proceeds of A$92.5 million and a
promissory note of A$12.5 million. The resulting profit or
loss on sale was not material.
As set out in the Prospectus dated 30 June 2014, shares held in
Healthscope by CT Healthscope Holdings L.P. (TPG/Carlyle)
are subject to voluntary escrow arrangements. The number
of shares subject to voluntary escrow was 658,195,966. The
voluntary escrow arrangements expired, and the 658,195,966
shares were released from escrow, after the release of this
financial report.
Future developments
Healthscope Limited is well positioned to expand its hospital
facilities to meet additional patient demand. Planning is in
place for the expansion of major hospital facilities for the
next 10 years, with developments planned at a number
of key hospitals. Where developments are planned,
Healthscope has applied for development approvals,
consistent with the hospital’s medium and long-term plans.
This is intended to allow hospital expansions (including beds
and operating theatres) to be delivered in a staged approach
to meet patient demand, without the project delays which
are associated with applying for new permits. Development
applications typically last for two to four years (depending
on the project) and can be extended for a further two to
four years.
New Zealand
The priority for Healthscope in New Zealand is to continue
to enhance its value proposition of high quality services and
superior operational efficiencies to the District Health Boards
(DHBs). Operationally, Healthscope is focused on extracting
further economies of scale, including cost synergies, through
the operational integration of its expanded laboratory
network. Healthscope will seek to secure additional DHB
contracts as they become contestable, and is well positioned
to replace existing providers given its reputation for quality
and service.
Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam
In South East Asia, Healthscope is focused on further
strengthening its market positions through an enhanced
service offering and greater segmental market penetration.
Across all its Asian pathology businesses, Healthscope has
identified potential for greater laboratory labour efficiencies
through benchmarking and increased laboratory automation.
In addition to labour efficiencies, procurement savings
can be achieved by leveraging Healthscope’s centralised
purchasing power. In Malaysia, Healthscope has identified a
number of growth opportunities including pursuing additional
hospital outsourcing contracts and new screening packages
for community patients. Beyond its existing pathology
operations, Healthscope will also look to capitalise on its
knowledge and experience in the region to actively explore
further opportunities for growth.
Environmental regulations
The Healthscope Group is not subject to any significant
environmental regulations under a law of the Commonwealth
or of a state or territory.

REmunERatiOn
REPORt
1 introduction
This has been a significant year for Healthscope, with
the company’s successful Initial Public Offering seeing
Healthscope return to the Australian Securities Exchange
on 28 July 2014.
The Board believes the company’s success depends on the
performance of all Healthscope’s employees. The structure of
the remuneration, particularly at the Senior Executive level, is
a key component in driving positive outcomes for employees,
shareholders and the company as a whole. Healthscope’s
remuneration strategy and associated programs have
therefore been specifically designed to align Senior Executive
reward with the creation of shareholder value.
Healthscope has reported a good overall FY15 result,
achieving Operating EBIT1 of $286.9 million, an increase
of 9.4% over the prior year.
Remuneration outcomes in FY15 were consistent with
Healthscope’s positive performance against financial targets
and, accordingly, awards were made to Senior Executives
under the Short-Term Incentive (STI) Plan. The Board
considers that FY15 STI outcomes are consistent with
shareholder outcomes across the same period.

This Report sets out the remuneration arrangements for the
Healthscope Group’s Key Management Personnel (KMP)
(who are listed in the table below). For the remainder of this

This Remuneration Report covers the entirety of FY15
(rather than only the period post Healthscope’s IPO) to
ensure consistency with the basis of the preparation of
the remainder of the financial report.
3.2 senior executive Remuneration
The Board is committed to developing and maintaining a
remuneration framework that is equitable and aligned with
the long-term interests of Healthscope and its shareholders
and which enables Healthscope to attract and retain skilled
Senior Executives.
The particular principles that guide the Board and the
Remuneration Committee when setting Senior Executive
remuneration and the links to the remuneration framework
are illustrated below. In FY15 Senior Executive remuneration
was made up of three components; Fixed Remuneration, STI
paid in cash and Long Term Incentives (LTI) granted by way
of performance rights to Healthscope shares (Performance
Rights).
3 FY15 Remuneration
policy and guiding principles
3.1 Non executive Director Remuneration
Healthscope’s remuneration policy for Non Executive
Directors aims to ensure that Healthscope can attract and
retain suitably qualified and experienced Non Executive
Directors having regard to:
• The level of fees paid to Non Executive Directors of other
major Australian companies;
• The size and complexity of Healthscope’s operations; and
• The responsibilities and work requirements of Board members.
• Ensure remuneration structures are equitable and aligned with the long-term interests of Healthscope and its
RemUNeRatioN PRiNCiPLes
shareholders;
• Attract and retain skilled Senior Executives;
• Structure short and long term incentives that are challenging and linked to the creation of sustainable shareholder
returns; and
• Ensure any termination benefits are justified and appropriate.

Directors’ report
4 Remuneration governance
framework
Healthscope did not receive any ‘remuneration
recommendations’ as defined under the Corporations
Act 2001 in FY15.
4.1 Role of the Board and Remuneration
Committee
The Board is responsible for ensuring that Healthscope’s
remuneration structures are equitable and aligned with the
long-term interests of Healthscope and its stakeholders. The
Remuneration Committee, established by the Board, is made
up of a majority of independent directors, with responsibility
for reviewing key aspects of Healthscope’s remuneration
structure and arrangements.
The Remuneration Committee reviews and recommends
to the Board:
• Arrangements for the Executive directors, the Senior
Executives and other executives reporting to the CEO
(including annual remuneration and participation in
incentive plans);
• Major changes and developments to employee incentive
plans; and
• Remuneration arrangements for Non Executive Directors.
4.2 Remuneration consultants and other
advisors
The Remuneration Committee consulted with various
external advisers during the process of developing
Healthscope’s remuneration framework. The Committee
intends to continue to obtain external independent advice
when required, and will use it to guide and inform their
considered decision-making.
5 Remuneration changes for
FY16
5.1 sti changes
Key changes have been made to the STI component of
Senior Executive remuneration in FY16 to ensure that the
remuneration structure is well suited to the company’s new
listed environment. The STI will be restructured from a 100%
financial focus, to include strategically aligned, individually
focused quantitative KPIs that will account for 30% of the
target reward. In addition, Senior Executives receiving an
STI award under this new structure will in FY16 have 30% of
any reward deferred into Performance Rights to Healthscope
shares that will vest after a two-year period. The maximum
STI opportunity for the CEO and CFO has been reduced
from 200% of TFR to 150% of TFR, whilst stretch targets
will be introduced for all other Senior Executive STI Plan
participants.
The diagram below shows the impact of the introduction
of STI deferral in FY16, as compared with the FY15
remuneration structure.

In FY15, the CEO and CFO had a target and stretch STI opportunity while the GM Operations and COO Pathology had
a single maximum STI opportunity (i.e. they did not have a stretch opportunity). In FY16, the GM Operations and COO
Pathology will also have target and stretch opportunities. Accordingly, for year on year comparative purposes, in this
table, the GM Operations and COO Pathology’s maximum STI opportunity in FY15 has been halved so that it mirrors a
remuneration mix with a target and stretch opportunity.
The Board believes that these changes will provide a competitive remuneration structure that strengthens the alignment
of Senior Executives’ interests with the long-term success of Healthscope and its shareholders and serves to retain skilled
Senior Executives who are important contributors to the company’s success.

6.3 iPo specific arrangements
As disclosed in Healthscope’s Prospectus, Non Executive Directors, Paula Dwyer, Tony Cipa and Rupert Myer, subscribed for
shares in the IPO at the final IPO price of $2.10 per share and were issued with offer bonus shares at no cost. The issue of
offer bonus shares to the Non Executive Directors was intended to align their interests with those of shareholders.
7 Senior Executive remuneration in detail
7.1 Fixed Remuneration
Fixed Remuneration is made up of cash salary, superannuation and other approved benefits.
Benchmarking of Fixed Remuneration of the Senior Executives was conducted during FY15 against peer companies.
Fixed Remuneration of Senior Executives is generally positioned around the peer median.
7.2 short term incentive
The STI Plan, (including its performance conditions) is designed to provide increased focus on and reward for performance
against those areas that most significantly drive the delivery of Healthscope’s strategic initiatives. Targets were set at the
commencement of FY15 and assessed at the end of the financial year, based on the company’s audited annual results.
Potential awards are expressed as a percentage of Fixed Remuneration. For FY15, awards were paid in cash. For Senior
Executives, other than the CEO and CFO, a gateway was in place which means a minimum of 90% of the Group EBIT target
must be achieved before any incentives are paid. There was no gateway in place for the CEO and CFO.
STI KPIs
For FY15, all STI targets for Senior Executives were financial, based on prospective forecasts for Group, and/or Divisional
or State EBIT targets. These are set out below:

Performance against financial targets is assessed by the Board following the release of the company’s annual audited results
to ensure transparency of outcomes.
7.2.1 Cessation of employment
On cessation of employment, Senior Executives are not entitled to any unpaid STI, other than where the Senior Executive
resigns for illness or other approved reasons, or where employment is terminated due to redundancy. In such cases, the
Senior Executive, subject to Board discretion, may receive a pro-rata STI award based on performance over the period of the
year that they were employed.
For the CEO and CFO, STI is not payable where the CEO or CFO has resigned and employment terminates before the
payment becomes payable (as determined at the sole discretion of the Board). STI is payable if the STI becomes due and
employment is terminated by the Company.

7.2.2 STI Awards for FY15
In relation to the Senior Executive STI KPIs for FY15, all EBIT KPIs were met at target, other than the Pathology Australia EBIT
target. The CEO and CFO did not achieve their stretch targets.
Details of STI outcomes for the FY15 performance year are set out in the table below. These outcomes were formalised

The LTI Plan is designed to align the interests of Senior Executives with the interests of shareholders by providing the
opportunity for participants to receive an equity interest in Healthscope through the granting of Performance Rights.
Growth remains a key plank of Healthscope’s strategic plan and it is appropriate that Senior Executives be incentivised
around measures which demonstrate sustainable growth. The LTI Plan also acts to retain key executives who have the
capacity to influence company strategy and direction and therefore supports company performance and the interests of
shareholders over the longer term. Grants pursuant to the LTI Plan are made a face value.
Healthscope introduced the LTI Plan at the time of IPO and the FY15 LTI grant delivered awards in the form of Performance
Rights. Each Performance Right entitles the holder to acquire one ordinary share in Healthscope on satisfaction of
performance conditions.
Performance Rights were granted at no cost to the participants as they form part of remuneration. The Performance Rights
are subject to two separate performance measures – 75% of the LTI grant is measured against Absolute Earnings Per Share
(EPS as defined in section 7.3.3) and 25% of the LTI grant is measured against Relative Total Shareholder Return (RTSR).
Performance is tested against these measures at the end of the performance period, being 30 June 2017. Performance
Rights do not carry any voting or dividend entitlements.
Pursuant to the LTI Plan Rules, the Board also has broad “clawback” powers to determine that Performance Rights lapse or
are forfeited, or that amounts are to be repaid in certain circumstances (e.g. in the case of serious misconduct). This protects
Healthscope against the payment of LTI benefits where participants have acted inappropriately.
Grants under the LTI Plan are expressed as a percentage of Total Fixed Remuneration. Grants for FY15 ranged from 50%
to approximately 120% of Fixed Remuneration.
The diagram on following page is a snapshot of the terms and conditions applying to the LTI arrangements for all Senior
Executives in FY15, with further details of the LTI arrangements outlined in sections 7.3.1–7.3.6 on following page.

7.3.1 Participation
All Senior Executives participated in the LTI Plan in FY15.
7.3.2 Performance Hurdles
The LTI Plan has dual performance hurdles – EPS and RTSR (with an absolute TSR gate or threshold of 7.5% to be achieved
before RTSR can be assessed). The mix of measures means that both lead indicators (indicative of Healthscope business
operations) and lag indicators (reflecting the market’s reaction to the company’s past performance) are utilised.
The EPS measure was selected because of its correlation with long term shareholder return and its lower susceptibility to
short term share price volatility. This measure also provides a greater ‘line of sight’ between Senior Executives’ actions and
the way in which their performance is measured. Consequently, this component was more heavily weighted in order drive
performance and provide an appropriate retention incentive.
RTSR measures the performance of an ordinary Healthscope share (including the value of any cash dividend and any
other shareholder benefits paid during the period) against total shareholder return performance of a comparator group of
companies, comprising a segment of the S&P ASX100 Index, over the same period. The Board believes that RTSR is an
appropriate hurdle, as it links Senior Executive reward to Healthscope’s relative share performance which is consistent with
creating shareholder value relative to Healthscope’s peer group. No reward is achieved unless Healthscope’s TSR is higher
than the median of this comparator group.
These hurdles and vesting schedules are set out below:

7.3.3 Measurement
The performance period for the FY15 grant runs from the date that Healthscope was listed on the ASX (28 July 2014)
to 30 June 2017. The slightly shorter than three year period was determined so that the end of the period aligns with
Healthscope’s financial reporting calendar.
Before the RTSR hurdle is measured, the Company must obtain a minimum TSR of 7.5% over the performance period.
If this gateway is not achieved, no awards will vest, regardless of the RTSR performance.
For the FY15 grant, RTSR performance is independently assessed over the performance period against a peer group
comprising constituents of the S&P ASX 100 index (excluding companies classified as banks, energy, metals and mining,
trusts and overseas domiciled companies).
No retesting is permitted.
EPS is calculated using net profit after tax excluding other income and expense items (Operating profit after tax), divided by
the weighted average number of shares on issue during the year. For the FY15 grant, two methods have and will be used
in setting EPS targets. Healthscope as a newly listed company could not draw upon recent EPS data to use as a basis for
setting EPS targets. The EPS target for Year 1 (FY15) was therefore set on the basis of financial forecasts in Healthscope’s
Prospectus. Targets for the subsequent two years of the grant will be set annually by the Board, based on budgeted EPS
performance for each year. EPS results for the three years will be averaged to provide an overall outcome for the
performance period.
An average threshold of 50% of target over the performance period must be reached before any Performance Rights
measured against the EPS target can vest.
7.3.4 Cessation of Employment
Where a participant ceases employment for cause or due to resignation (other than due to death, ill health or disability)
all unvested Performance Rights will automatically lapse.
In all other circumstances, the Performance Rights will remain on foot and subject to the original performance conditions,
as if the participant had not ceased employment.
However, pursuant to the LTI Plan Rules, the Board retains absolute discretion to determine, vest or lapse some or all
Performance Rights in all circumstances.
7.3.5 Change of Control
Where there is likely to be a change of control, the Board has the discretion to accelerate vesting of some or all of the
Performance Rights. Where only some of the Performance Rights are vested on a change of control, the remainder of the
Performance Rights will immediately lapse.
If a change of control occurs before the Board exercises its discretion, a pro-rata portion of the Performance Rights
(equal to the portion of the relevant Performance Period that has elapsed up to the change of control) will immediately
and automatically vest.

7.5 iPo specific arrangements
7.5.1 Legacy LTI Plan
All Senior Executives were previously participants in Healthscope’s legacy 2012 LTI Plan, which provided participants with the
capacity to acquire options and zero exercise priced options over shareholder loan notes in entities in the Group (Options).
The legacy LTI plan was broadly based, covering approximately 50 participating executives and senior managers.
The Options were subject to both performance and service conditions. Under the terms of the Senior Executives’
employment agreements, in the event of an IPO, any unvested Options vested and became exercisable provided that the
Senior Executive continued to be employed by Healthscope at the date of the IPO.
The Options over shareholder loan notes in Group companies (as outlined below) held by the Senior Executives at 1 July
2014 were:

All Options vested prior to the IPO. The Senior Executives were entitled to sell the vested Options and were required to
reinvest 50% (in the case of Robert Cooke) and 60% (for other Senior Executives) of the after tax proceeds in Healthscope
shares to be issued at the final IPO price of $2.10 per share.
These shares cannot be disposed of or otherwise dealt with until two years after completion of the IPO (being 31 July 2016)
and are subject to voluntary escrow during this period. If a Senior Executive gives notice of resignation during that period,
other than in the case of death, total permanent disability or terminal illness, the shares will be forfeited.
See section 8.4 for further details on KMP shareholdings.

7.5.2 Retention Payments
In order to focus the efforts of Senior Executives on achieving an IPO and to encourage management stability post
Healthscope’s IPO, one–off retention payments were made to Senior Executives. These payments (less any amount of
taxation payable by the Senior Executive) were applied as a subscription payment for Healthscope shares at the final IPO
price of $2.10 per share. These shares cannot be disposed or otherwise dealt with until two years after completion of the IPO
(being 31 July 2016) and are subject to voluntary escrow. If a Senior Executive gives notice of resignation during this period,
other than in the case of death, total permanent disability or terminal illness, the shares will be forfeited.
See section 8.4 for further details on KMP shareholdings.

These transactions occurred whilst Healthscope Limited,
Pathology Australia and Pathology International were
under common control of CT Healthscope Holdings L.P.
CT Healthscope Holdings L.P was the legal parent entity of
the Healthscope business for the period from 12 October
2010 (the date the Healthscope business was acquired by a
consortium of funds advised and managed by TPG and
The Carlyle Group) until its IPO on 28 July 2014.
For consolidation purposes, the transactions have been
accounted for as business combinations between entities
under common control at carrying value. Consequently,
the assets and liabilities have not been remeasured to fair
value nor has any additional goodwill arisen. Accordingly,
the assets and liabilities of both Pathology Australia and
Pathology International continue to reflect their carrying
values as per the accounting records of CT Healthscope
Holdings L.P. immediately prior to acquisition by Healthscope
Limited. The difference between the consideration given and
the carrying value of the assets and liabilities acquired by
Healthscope Limited has been recognised within equity as
part of the “Group reorganisation reserve”.
The two approaches most commonly used to present
consolidated financial statements following a business
combination between entities under common control are:
• Restatement of comparatives (“Predecessor accounting”
method)
• No restatement of comparatives (“Acquisition method”).
The financial report presents the financial results of
Healthscope Limited and its controlled entities using the
“Predecessor accounting” method meaning the financial
report has been presented as if the combinations with
Pathology Australia and Pathology International had
occurred prior to 1 July 2013, the beginning of the earliest
period presented in the financial report.
Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared
on the historical cost basis except for certain properties and
financial instruments that are measured at revalued amounts
or fair values at the end of each reporting period,
as explained in the accounting policies below.
Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the
consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
nOtE 1: General information
Healthscope Limited is a public company listed on the
Australian Securities Exchange (trading under the code

NOTE 2: Significant accounting
policies
statement of compliance
These financial statements are general purpose financial
statements which have been prepared in accordance with
the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and
Interpretations, and comply with other requirements of the law.
The financial statements comprise the consolidated financial
statements of the Healthscope Group. For the purposes
of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the
Healthscope Group is a for-profit entity.
Accounting Standards include Australian Accounting
Standards. Compliance with Australian Accounting
Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes
of the Group comply with International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS).

Group reorganisation and comparative
information
In preparation for the IPO of Healthscope Limited on the
ASX, two group reorganisation transactions were undertaken
which resulted in Healthscope Limited acquiring 100% of the
shares in:
• Healthscope Pathology Holdings Pty Ltd and its
controlled entities (“Pathology Australia”) on 29 June
2014; and
• CT HSP (Dutch) Cooperatief U.A. and its controlled
entities (“Pathology International”) on 28 July 2014.
58 | healthscope annual report 2015
Notes to the consolidated financial statementsfor the year ended 30 June 2015 Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset
or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date, regardless of
whether that price is directly observable or estimated using
another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value
of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the
characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants
would take those characteristics into account when pricing
the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value
for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these
consolidated financial statements is determined on such a
basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are
within the scope of AASB 2, leasing transactions that are
within the scope of AASB 117, and measurements that have
some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as
net realisable value in AASB 2 or value in use in AASB 136.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value
measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3
based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value
measurements are observable and the significance of the
inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which
are described as follows:
• Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity
can access at the measurement date;
• Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices
included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset
or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
• Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset
or liability.
When the Company has less than a majority of the voting
rights of an investee, it has power over the investee when
the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to
direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The
Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in
assessing whether or not the Company’s voting rights in an
investee are sufficient to give it power, including:
• The size of the Company’s holding of voting rights relative
to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote
holders;
• Potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote
holders or other parties;
• Rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
• Any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that
the Company has, or does not have, the current ability
to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions
need to be made, including voting patterns at previous
shareholders’ meetings.
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company
obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the
Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income
and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during
the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit
or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the
Company gains control until the date when the Company
ceases to control the subsidiary.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial
statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies
into line with the Group’s accounting policies.
For clarity and relevance, the entity has chosen to report
amounts in the financial report rounded off to the nearest
thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated.
All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses
and cash flows relating to transactions between members of
the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of Healthscope
Limited incorporate the financial statements of the Company
and entities (including structured entities) controlled by the
Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when
the Company:
• Has power over the investee;
•
Is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its
involvement with the investee; and
• Has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.
The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an
investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are
changes to one or more of the three elements of control
listed above.
The following significant accounting policies have been
adopted in the preparation and presentation of the financial
report.
(a) Business combinations
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the
acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a
business combination is measured at fair value which is
calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of
assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the
Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity
instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of
the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are recognised in
profit or loss as incurred.
healthscope annual report 2015 | 59
NOTE 2: Significant accounting
policies (continued)
(a) Business combinations (continued)
At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and
the liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair value,
except that:
• Deferred tax assets or liabilities and assets or liabilities
related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised
and measured in accordance with AASB 112 ‘Income
Taxes’ and AASB 119 ‘Employee Benefits’ respectively;
• Liabilities or equity instruments related to share-based
payment arrangements of the acquiree or share-based
payment arrangements of the Group entered into to
replace share-based payment arrangements of the
acquiree are measured in accordance with AASB 2
‘Share-based Payment’ at the acquisition date; and
• Assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for
sale in accordance with AASB 5 ‘Non-current Assets Held
for Sale and Discontinued Operations’ are measured in
accordance with that Standard.
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the
consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling
interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s
previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the
net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets
acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment,
the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable
assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum
of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-
controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the
acquirer’s previously held interest in the acquiree (if any),
the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a
bargain purchase gain.
Where the consideration transferred by the Group in a
business combination includes assets or liabilities resulting
from a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent
consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value.
Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that
qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted
retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against
goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments
that arise from additional information obtained during the
‘measurement period’ (which cannot exceed one year from
the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that
existed at the acquisition date.
The subsequent accounting for changes in the fair value of
contingent consideration that do not qualify as measurement
period adjustments depends on how the contingent
consideration is classified. Contingent consideration that
is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent
reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted
for within equity. Contingent consideration that is classified
as an asset or liability is remeasured at subsequent
reporting dates in accordance with AASB 139, or AASB 137
‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets’,
as appropriate, with the corresponding gain or loss being
recognised in profit or loss.
Where a business combination is achieved in stages, the
Group’s previously held interests in the acquired entity are
re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date (i.e. the date
the Healthscope Group attains control) and the resulting gain
or loss, is recognised in profit or loss. Amounts arising from
interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have
previously been recognised in other comprehensive income
are reclassified to profit or loss, where such treatment would
be appropriate if that interest were disposed of.
If the initial accounting for a business combination is
incomplete by the end of the reporting year in which the
combination occurs, the Healthscope Group reports
provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is
incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during
the measurement year, or additional assets or liabilities are
recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts
and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date
that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised
as of that date.
The measurement year is the year from the date of
acquisition to the date the Healthscope Group obtains
complete information about facts and circumstances that
existed as of the acquisition date – and is subject to a
maximum of one year.
(b) Taxation
Income tax expense or benefit represents the sum of the
tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Current Tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the
year. Taxable profit differs from ‘profit before tax’ as reported
in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income
because of items of income or expense that are taxable or
deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or
deductible. The Group’s current tax is calculated using tax
rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the
end of the reporting year.
60 | healthscope annual report 2015
Notes to the consolidated financial statementsfor the year ended 30 June 2015 For the purposes of measuring deferred tax liabilities and
deferred tax assets for investment properties that are
measured using the fair value model, the carrying amounts
of such properties are presumed to be recovered entirely
through sale, unless the presumption is rebutted. The
presumption is rebutted when the investment property is
depreciable and is held within a business model whose
objective is to consume substantially all of the economic
benefits embodied in the investment property over time,
rather than through sale. The directors of the Company
reviewed the Group’s investment property portfolios and
concluded that none of the Group’s investment properties
are held under a business model whose objective is to
consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied
in the investment properties over time, rather than through
sale. Therefore, the directors have determined that the ‘sale’
presumption set out in the amendments to AASB 112 is
not rebutted. As a result, the Group has not recognised any
deferred taxes on changes in fair value of the investment
properties as the Group is not subject to any income taxes
on the fair value changes of the investment properties on
disposal.
Current and deferred tax for the year
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss,
except when they relate to items that are recognised in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case,
the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial
accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is
included in the accounting for the business combination.
Tax consolidation
Healthscope Limited elected to form a multiple entry
consolidated group with effect from 22 September 2010.
Healthscope Limited and its controlled entities joined the
consolidated group with effect from 12 October 2010.
As a result of the group reorganisation on 29 June 2014,
the Healthscope Group ceased being a multiple entry
consolidated group and became a tax consolidated group.
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in
the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases
used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax
liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary
differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for
all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is
probable that taxable profits will be available against which
those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such
deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the
temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial
recognition (other than in a business combination) of other
assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the
taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at
the end of each reporting year and reduced to the extent that
it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be
available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary
differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and
associates, and interests in joint ventures except where
the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary
differences and it is probable that the temporary differences
will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets
arising from deductible temporary differences associated
with these investments and interests are only recognised
to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient
taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the
temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in
the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax
rates that are expected to apply in the year in which the
liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates
(and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively
enacted by the end of the reporting year.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets
reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the
manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the
reporting year, to recover or settle the carrying amount of
its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a
legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against
current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes
levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends
to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
healthscope annual report 2015 | 61
NOTE 2: Significant accounting
policies (continued)
(b) Taxation (continued)
Tax expense/income, deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax
assets arising from temporary differences of the members of
the tax-consolidated group are recognised in the separate
financial statements of the members of the tax-consolidated
group using the ‘separate taxpayer within group’ approach
by reference to the carrying amounts in the separate financial
statements of each entity and the tax values applying under
tax consolidation. Current tax liabilities and assets and
deferred tax assets arising from the unused tax losses and
relevant tax credits of the members of the tax-consolidated
group are recognised by Healthscope Limited (as head entity
in the tax-consolidated group).
Due to the existence of a tax funding arrangement between
the entities in the tax-consolidated group, amounts are
recognised as payable to or receivables by the company and
each member of the group in relation to the tax contribution
amounts paid or payable between the head entity and the
other members of the tax-consolidated group in accordance
with the arrangement. Where the tax contribution amount
recognised by each member of the tax-consolidated
group for a particular year is different to the aggregate of
the current tax liability or asset and any deferred tax asset
arising from unused tax losses and tax credits in respect of
that year, the difference is recognised as a contribution from
(or distribution to) equity partners.
(c) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost, on a first in
first out basis, and net realisable value. Net realisable value
represents the estimated selling prices of inventories less all
estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make
the sale.
(d) Financial assets
Financial assets are classified into the following specified
categories: financial assets as ‘at fair value through profit
or loss (FVTPL)’, ‘held-to-maturity investments’, ‘available-
for-sale (AFS)’ financial assets, and ‘loans and receivables’.
The classification depends on the nature and purpose of
the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial
recognition. All regular way purchases or sales of financial
assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date
basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or
sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within
the time frame established by regulation or convention in the
market place.
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the
amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest
income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is
the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts
(including all fees and points paid or received that form an
integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs
and other premiums or discounts) through the expected
life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter
period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt
instruments other than those financial assets classified as at
FVTPL.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when the financial
asset is either held for trading or it is designated as at
FVTPL.
A financial asset is classified as held for trading if:
•
It has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling
it in the near term; or
• On initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified
financial instruments that the Group manages together
and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-
taking; or
•
It is a derivative that is not designated and effective as
a hedging instrument.
A financial asset other than a financial asset held for trading
may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:
• Such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a
measurement or recognition inconsistency that would
otherwise arise; or
• The financial asset forms part of a group of financial
assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed
and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis,
in accordance with the Group’s documented risk
management or investment strategy, and information
about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or
•
It forms part of a contract containing one or more
embedded derivatives, and AASB 139 permits the entire
combined contract to be designated as at FVTPL.
Financial assets at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any
gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in
profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss
incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial
asset and is included in the ‘other gains and losses’
line item.
62 | healthscope annual report 2015
Notes to the consolidated financial statementsfor the year ended 30 June 2015 Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets
with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted
in an active market. Loans and receivables are measured
at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less
any impairment. Interest income is recognised by applying
the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables
when the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for
indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period.
Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there
is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events
that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial
asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment
have been affected.
For all other financial assets, objective evidence of
impairment could include:
• Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty;
or
• Breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in
interest or principal payments; or
•
It becoming probable that the borrower will enter
bankruptcy or financial re-organisation; or
• The disappearance of an active market for that financial
asset because of financial difficulties.
For certain categories of financial assets, such as trade
receivables, assets are assessed for impairment on a
collective basis even if they were assessed not to be
impaired individually. Objective evidence of impairment
for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group’s
past experience of collecting payments, an increase in
the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the
average credit period of 28 days, as well as observable
changes in national or local economic conditions that
correlate with default on receivables.
For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of
the impairment loss recognised is the difference between the
asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated
future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original
effective interest rate.
For financial assets that are carried at cost, the amount of
the impairment loss is measured as the difference between
the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the
estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market
rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment
loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by
the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the
exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount
is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When
a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written
off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries
of amounts previously written off are credited against the
allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the
allowance account are recognised in profit or loss.
When an AFS financial asset is considered to be impaired,
cumulative gains or losses previously recognised in other
comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss in
the period.
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, if, in a
subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss
decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an
event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the
previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through
profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the
investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not
exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the
impairment not been recognised.
In respect of AFS equity securities, impairment losses
previously recognised in profit or loss are not reversed
through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent
to an impairment loss is recognised in other comprehensive
income and accumulated under the heading of investments
revaluation reserve. In respect of AFS debt securities,
impairment losses are subsequently reversed through profit
or loss if an increase in the fair value of the investment
can be objectively related to an event occurring after the
recognition of the impairment loss.
De-recognition of financial assets
The Group derecognises a financial asset when the
contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or
when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the
risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.
If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the
risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the
transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest
in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may
have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks
and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset,
the Group continues to recognise the financial asset and
also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds
received.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the
difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the
sum of the consideration received and receivable and the
cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other
comprehensive income and accumulated in equity
is recognised in profit or loss.

The ranges of depreciation rates used for each class of
depreciable assets are:

PLaNt aND eqUiPmeNt
DePReCiatioN
Rate
On derecognition of a financial asset other than in its entirety
(e.g. when the Group retains an option to repurchase part
of a transferred asset), the Group allocates the previous
carrying amount of the financial asset between the part
it continues to recognise under continuing involvement,
and the part it no longer recognises on the basis of the
relative fair values of those parts on the date of the transfer.
The difference between the carrying amount allocated to
the part that is no longer recognised and the sum of the
consideration received for the part no longer recognised
and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to it that had been
recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised
in profit or loss. A cumulative gain or loss that had been
recognised in other comprehensive income is allocated
between the part that continues to be recognised and the
part that is no longer recognised on the basis of the relative
fair values of those parts.
(e) Property, plant and equipment
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at
cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation
and accumulated impairment losses.
• Freehold land and buildings are measured on the
cost basis.
• Plant and equipment is measured on the cost basis.
• Leasehold improvements are measured on the cost basis.
• Finance leases are initially recognised at their fair value
or, if lower, at amounts equal to the present value of the
minimum lease payments. Each is determined at the
inception of the lease.
• Assets in the course of construction are carried at cost,
less any recognised impairment loss. Cost includes
professional fees and, for qualifying assets, borrowing
costs capitalised in accordance with the Group’s
accounting policy.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets, including
buildings and capitalised lease assets, but excluding
freehold land is depreciated over their useful lives to the
Group, commencing from the time the asset is held ready
for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over
the shorter of either the unexpired year of the lease or the
estimated useful lives of the improvements. The estimated
useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are
reviewed at the end of each annual accounting year, with the
effect of any changes recognised on a prospective basis.
Buildings
Leasehold improvements
Plant & equipment
Leased assets
2% to 5%
2% to 100%
5% to 50%
4% to 20%
Freehold land is not depreciated.
Fixtures and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or
valuation of assets (other than freehold land and properties
under construction) less their residual values over their useful
lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful
lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed
at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any
changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over
their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned
assets. However, when there is no reasonable certainty that
ownership will be obtained by the end of the lease term,
assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term
and their useful lives.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised
upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are
expected to arise from the continued use of the asset.
Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an
item of property, plant and equipment, is determined as the
difference between the carrying amount of the asset at the
time of disposal and the sale proceeds on disposal, and is
recognised in profit or loss.
(f) Goodwill
Goodwill arising in a business combination is recognised as
an asset and carried at cost as established at the date that
control is acquired (the acquisition date) less accumulated
impairment losses, if any. Goodwill is not amortised but is
reviewed for impairment at least annually.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated
to each of the Group’s cash-generating units (CGU’s), or
groups of CGU’s, expected to benefit from the synergies
of the business combination. CGU’s or groups of CGU’s to
which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment
annually or more frequently if events or changes in
circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired.
64 | healthscope annual report 2015
Notes to the consolidated financial statementsfor the year ended 30 June 2015 If the recoverable amount of the CGU or group of CGU’s
is less than the carrying amount of the CGU or groups of
CGU’s, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the
carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU or
groups of CGU’s and then to the other assets of the CGU
or groups of CGU’s pro-rata on the basis of the carrying
amount of each asset in the CGU or groups of CGU’s.
An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is recognised
immediately in profit or loss and is not reversed in a
subsequent year. On disposal of the relevant cash-
generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is
included in the determination of the profit or loss on
disposal of the operation.
(g) Intangible assets
Research & development costs
Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an
expense in the year in which it is incurred. Where no
internally generated intangible asset can be recognised,
development expenditure is recognised as an expense in
the year it is incurred.
An internally generated intangible asset arising from
development (or from the development phase of an internal
project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the following are
demonstrated:
• The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset
so that it will be available for use or sale;
• The intention to complete the intangible asset and use
or sell it;
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination
• The ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and
recognised separately from goodwill are initially recognised
at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded
as their cost).
Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired
in a business combination are reported at cost less
accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment
losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are
acquired separately.
Intangible assets acquired separately
Intangible assets with finite lives that are acquired separately
are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and
accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised
on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The
estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed
at the end of each annual reporting year, with any changes
in these accounting estimates being accounted for on a
prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful
lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less
accumulated impairment losses.
Amortisation of intangible assets
The following useful lives are used in the calculation of
amortisation:
CLass oF iNtaNGiBLe assets
Contract management rights
Operating rights
Contract development costs
UseFUL LiFe
3 to 30 years
3 to 6 years
5 to 12 years
• How the intangible asset will generate probable future
economic benefits;
• The availability of adequate technical, financial and other
resources to complete the development and to use or sell
the intangible asset; and
• The ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable
to the intangible asset during its development.
The amount initially recognised for internally generated
intangible assets is the sum of the expenditure incurred
from the date when the intangible asset first meets the
recognition criteria listed above. Where no internally-
generated intangible asset can be recognised, development
expenditure is recognised in profit or loss in the year in which
it is incurred.
Subsequent to initial recognition, internally-generated
intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated
amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, and are
amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful lives of
no longer than five years.
(h) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets
excluding goodwill
At the end of each reporting year, the Group reviews the
carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to
determine whether there is any indication that those assets
have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication
exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in
order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are
independent from other assets, the Group estimates the
recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the
asset belongs. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives
and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested
for impairment at least annually and whenever there is an
indication that the asset may be impaired.
healthscope annual report 2015 | 65
NOTE 2: Significant accounting
policies (continued)
(h) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets
excluding goodwill (continued)
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to
sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated
future cash flows are discounted to their present value
using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks
specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash
flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash generating
unit) is estimated to be less than the carrying amount, the
carrying amount of the asset (or cash generating unit) is
reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss
is recognised in the profit or loss immediately, unless the
relevant asset is carried at a re-valued amount in which case
the impairment is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the
carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is
increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount,
but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount
does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been
determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the
asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an
impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately,
unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount in
which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a
revaluation increase.
(i) Leased assets
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms
of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards
of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified
as operating leases.
The Group as lessor
Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are
recognised as receivables at the amount of the Group’s net
investment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated
to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic
rate of return on the Group’s net investment outstanding
in respect of the leases.
Rental income from operating leases is recognised on
a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an
operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the
leased asset and recognised on a straight-line basis over
the lease term.
The Group as lessee
Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised
as assets of the Group at their fair value at the inception of
the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum
lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is
included in the consolidated statement of financial position
as a finance lease obligation.
Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses
and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a
constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the
liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately
in profit or loss, unless they are directly attributable to
qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in
accordance with the Group’s general policy on borrowing
costs. Contingent rentals are recognised as expenses in the
periods in which they are incurred.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense
on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where
another systematic basis is more representative of the time
pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are
consumed. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases
are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are
incurred.
In the event that lease incentives are received to enter
into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a
liability. The total benefit of incentives is recognised as a
reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis, except
where another systematic basis is more representative of
the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased
asset are consumed.
(j) Employee benefits
A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in
respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and long service
leave when it is probable that settlement will be required and
they are capable of being measured reliably.
Short-term and other long-term employee benefits
A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees
in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and sick
leave in the period the related service is rendered at the
undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid
in exchange for that service.
Liabilities recognised in respect of short-term employee
benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the
benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related
service.
Liabilities recognised in respect of other long-term employee
benefits are measured at the present value of the estimated
future cash outflows expected to be made by the Group
in respect of services provided by employees up to the
reporting date.
66 | healthscope annual report 2015
Notes to the consolidated financial statementsfor the year ended 30 June 2015 Defined contribution plans
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are
recognised as an expense when employees have rendered
service entitling them to the contributions.
Termination benefit
A liability for a termination benefit is recognised at the earlier
of when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of the
termination benefit and when the entity recognises any
related restructuring costs.
(k) Interests in joint operations
A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties
that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to
the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to
the arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed
sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when
decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous
consent of the parties sharing control. When a group entity
undertakes its activities under joint operations, the Group as
a joint operator recognises in relation to its interest in a joint
operation:
•
Its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly;
•
•
•
•
Its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred
jointly;
Its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising
from the joint operation;
Its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by
the joint operation; and
Its expenses, including its share of any expenses
incurred jointly.
The Group accounts for the assets, liabilities, revenues
and expenses relating to its interest in a joint operation in
accordance with the AASBs applicable to the particular
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.
When a group entity transacts with a joint operation in
which a group entity is a joint operator (such as a sale
or contribution of assets), the Group is considered to be
conducting the transaction with the other parties to the
joint operation, and gains and losses resulting from the
transactions are recognised in the Group’s consolidated
financial statements only to the extent of other parties’
interests in the joint operation.
When a group entity transacts with a joint operation in which
a group entity is a joint operator (such as a purchase of
assets), the Group does not recognise its share of the gains
and losses until it resells those assets to a third party.
A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties
that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to
the net assets of the joint arrangement. Joint control is the
contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement,
which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities
require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
The results and assets and liabilities of joint ventures are
incorporated in these consolidated financial statements
using the equity method of accounting. Under the
equity method, an investment in a joint venture is initially
recognised in the consolidated statement of financial
position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the
Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive
income of the joint venture.
The financial statements of each joint venture are used by
the Group to apply the equity method. The reporting dates
of each joint venture and the Group are identical and both
use consistent accounting policies.
The requirements of AASB 139 are applied to determine
whether it is necessary to recognise any impairment loss
with respect to the Group’s investment in a joint venture.
When necessary, the entire carrying amount of the
investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment
in accordance with AASB 136 Impairment of Assets as a
single asset by comparing its recoverable amount (higher of
value in use and fair value less costs to sell) with its carrying
amount, Any impairment loss recognised forms part of the
carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that
impairment loss is recognised in accordance with AASB 136
to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment
subsequently increases.
(l) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and
demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly
liquid investments, that are readily convertible to known
amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk
of changes in value. For the purpose of the statement of
cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and
cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank
overdrafts.
(m) Financial liability and equity instruments
issued by the Group
Debt and equity instruments
Debt and equity instruments are classified as either liabilities
or as equity in accordance with the substance of the
contractual arrangement and the definitions of a financial
liability and an equity instrument. An equity instrument is any
contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an
entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments
issued by the Group are recorded as the proceeds received,
net of direct issue costs.
healthscope annual report 2015 | 67
NOTE 2: Significant accounting
policies (continued)
(m) Financial liability and equity instruments issued
by the Group (continued)
Repurchase of the Group’s own equity instruments is
recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss
is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or
cancellation of Group’s own equity instruments.
Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities, including borrowings and trade
and other payables, are initially measured at fair value, net
of transaction costs and are subsequently measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest method, with
interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating
the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating
interest expense over the relevant year. The effective interest
rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash
payments through the expected life of the financial liability,
or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying
amount on initial recognition.
De-recognition of financial liabilities
The Group de-recognises financial liabilities when and only
when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or
they expire. The difference between the carrying amount of
the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid
and payable is recognised in profit or loss.
Transaction costs on the issue of equity instruments
Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments
are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the
proceeds of the equity instruments to which the costs relate.
Transaction costs are the costs that are incurred directly in
connection with the issue of those equity instruments and
which would not have been incurred had those instruments
not been issued.
(n) Foreign currency
Foreign currency transactions
All foreign currency transactions during the financial year are
brought to account using the exchange rate in effect at the
date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items at
reporting date are translated at the exchange rate existing at
that date. Exchange differences are recognised in net profit or
loss in the year in which they arise.
The individual financial information of each Group entity
is presented in the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the entity operates (its functional
currency). For the purposes of the consolidated financial
statements, the results and financial position of each group
entity are expressed in Australian dollars (‘$’), which is
the functional currency of the Group and the presentation
currency for the consolidated financial statements.
In preparing the financial information of the individual
entities, transactions in currencies other than the Group’s
functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognised
at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the
transactions. At the end of each reporting year, monetary
items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at
the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried
at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are
retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the
fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are
measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency
are not retranslated.
On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s
foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars
at exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting
year. Income and expense items are translated at the
average exchange rates for the year, unless exchange rates
fluctuated significantly during that year, in which case the
exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used.
Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other
comprehensive income and accumulated in equity. Such
exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the
year in which the foreign operation is exposed.
(o) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present
obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event,
it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the
obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the
amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate
of the consideration required to settle the present obligation
at the end of the reporting year, taking into account the
risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where
a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated
to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the
present value of those cash flows.
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle
a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party,
a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain
that the reimbursement will be received and the amount of the
receivable can be measured reliably.
68 | healthscope annual report 2015
Notes to the consolidated financial statementsfor the year ended 30 June 2015 Onerous contracts/leases
Interest income
Present obligations arising under onerous contracts are
recognised and measured as a provision. An onerous
contract is considered to exist where the Group has a
contract under which the unavoidable costs of meeting the
obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits
expected to be received under it.
Insurance claims
The provision is based on the schedule of outstanding claims
and the costs have been estimated based on currently
available data where the Group has no related insurance
policy. Provisions are determined by discounting expected
future cash outflows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current
market assessment of the time value of money and when
appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. The provision
is reviewed at the end of each reporting year and updated
for additional information.
Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when
it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the
Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably.
Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference
to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest
rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts
estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of
the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on
initial recognition.
Rental income
Rental income from operating leases is recognised on
a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging
an operating lease is added to the carrying amount of the
leased asset and recognised on a straight-line basis over
the lease term.
Other provisions
(q) Derivative financial instruments
Other provisions primarily consist of restructuring and
related provisions. A restructuring provision is recognised
when the Group has developed a detailed formal plan for
the restructuring and has raised a valid expectation in those
affected that it will carry out the restructuring by starting
to implement the plan or announcing its main features to
those affected by it. The measurement of a restructuring
provision includes only the direct expenditures arising from
the restructuring, which are those amounts that are both
necessarily entailed by the restructuring and not associated
with the ongoing activities of the entity.
(p) Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration
received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated
customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.
Rendering of services
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised
by reference to the stage of completion of the contract.
Dividend income
Dividend income from investments is recognised when the
shareholder’s right to receive payment has been established
(provided that it is probable that the economic benefits
will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be
measured reliably).
The Group enters into interest rate swaps to manage its
exposure to interest rate risk.
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date
a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently
re-measured to their fair value at the end of each reporting
period. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or
loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and
effective as a hedging instrument, in which event, the timing
of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature
of the hedge relationship. The Group designates certain
derivatives as either hedges of the fair value of recognised
assets or liabilities or firm commitments (fair value hedges),
hedges of highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow
hedges), or hedges of net investments in foreign operations.
A derivative with a positive fair value is recognised as a
financial asset; a derivative with a negative fair value is
recognised as a financial liability. A derivative is presented as
a non-current asset or a non-current liability if the remaining
maturity of the instrument is more than 12 months and it
is not expected to be realised or settled within 12 months.
Other derivatives are presented as current assets or current
liabilities.
Hedge accounting
The Group designates certain hedging instruments,
which include derivatives, embedded derivatives and
non-derivatives in respect of foreign currency risk, as
either fair value hedges, cash flow hedges, or hedges of
net investments in foreign operations. Hedges of foreign
exchange risk on firm commitments are accounted for as
cash flow hedges.
healthscope annual report 2015 | 69
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to,
the taxation authority is included as part of receivables
or payables. Cash flows are included in the statement of
cash flows on a gross basis. The GST component of cash
flows arising from investing and financing activities which
is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is
classified as operating cash flows.
(s) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition,
construction or production of qualifying assets that
necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for
their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those
assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready
for their intended use or sale.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in the profit or loss
in the year in which they were incurred.
(t) Government grants
Government grants are assistance by the government in the
form of transfers of resources to the Group in return for past
or future compliance with certain conditions relating to the
operating activities of the Group. Government grants include
government assistance where there are no conditions
specifically relating to the operating activities of the Group
other than the requirement to operate in certain regions or
industry sectors.
Government grants are not recognised until there is
reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the
conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.
Government grants are recognised as income over the years
necessary to match them with the related costs, which they
are intended to compensate, on a systematic basis.
Government grants that are receivable as compensation
for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose
of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no
future related costs are recognised as income of the period
in which it becomes receivable.
(u) Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified
as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered
principally through a sale transaction rather than through
continuing use. This condition is regarded as met when the
sale is highly probable and the non-current asset (or disposal
group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition.
Management must be committed to the sale, which should
be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale
within one year from the date of classification.
NOTE 2: Significant accounting
policies (continued)
(q) Derivative financial instruments (continued)
At the inception of the hedge relationship the Group
documents the relationship between the hedging instrument
and hedged item, along with its risk management objectives
and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions.
Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and on an
ongoing basis, the Group documents whether the hedging
instrument that is used in a hedging relationship is highly
effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of
the hedged item. Movements in the hedging reserve in equity
are detailed in the Statement of Changes in Equity.
Cash flow hedge
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives
that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are
recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated
under the heading of cash flow hedging reserve. The gain
or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised
immediately in profit or loss, and is included in the ‘other
income and expense items’ line item.
Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive
income and accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or
loss in the years when the hedged item is recognised in profit
or loss, in the same line of the statement of comprehensive
income as the recognised hedged item. However when
the hedged forecast transaction that is hedged results in
the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial
liability, the gains and losses previously recognised in other
comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are
transferred from equity and included in the initial measurement
of the cost of the non-financial asset or non-financial liability.
Hedge accounting is discontinued when the Group revokes
the hedging relationship, when the hedging instrument
expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer
qualifies for hedge accounting. Any gain or loss recognised
in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity
at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the
forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in profit or loss.
When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur,
the cumulative gain or loss that was deferred in equity is
recognised immediately in profit or loss.
(r) Goods and services tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the
amount of goods and services tax (GST), except:
• Where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable
from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part of the
cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of
expense; or
• For receivables and payables which are recognised
inclusive of GST.
70 | healthscope annual report 2015
Notes to the consolidated financial statementsfor the year ended 30 June 2015 When the Group is committed to a sale plan involving loss of
control of a subsidiary, all of the assets and liabilities of that
subsidiary are classified as held for sale when the criteria
described above are met, regardless of whether the Group
will retain a non-controlling interest in its former subsidiary
after the sale.
When the Group is committed to a sale plan involving
disposal of an investment, a portion of an investment, in an
associate or joint venture, the investment or the portion of
the investment that will be disposed of is classified as held
for sale when the criteria described above is met, and the
Group discontinues the use of equity method in relation to
the portion that is classified as held for sale. Any retained
portion of an investment in an associate or a joint venture
that has not been classified as held for sale continues to
be accounted for using the equity method. The Group
discontinues the use of the equity method at the time of
disposal when disposal results in the Group losing significant
influence over the associate or joint venture.
After the disposal takes place, the Group accounts
for retained interest in the associate or joint venture in
accordance with AASB 139 unless the retained interest
continues to be an associate or a joint venture, in which
case the Group uses the equity method.
Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held
for sale are measured at the lower of their previous carrying
amount and fair vale less costs to sell.
(v) Share-based payments transactions
Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and
others providing similar services are measured at the fair
value of the equity instruments at the grant date.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-
settled share-based payment is expensed on a straight-
line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s
estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest,
with a corresponding increase in equity. At the end of each
reporting period, the Group revises its estimate of the
number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact
of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised
in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects
the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the
equity-settled employee benefits reserve.
(w) Adoption of new and revised Accounting
The Group has adopted all of the new and revised
Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian
Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant
to their operations and effective for the current year. New
and revised Standards and amendments thereof and
Interpretations effective for the current year that are relevant
to the Group include:
• AASB 1031 Materiality
• AASB 2012-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting
Standards – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities
• AASB 2013-3 Amendments to AASB 136 – Recoverable
Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets
• AASB 2013-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting
Standards – Novation of Derivatives and Continuation
of Hedge Accounting
• AASB 2013-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting
Standards – Conceptual Framework, Materiality and
Financial Instruments
•
Interpretation 21 ‘Levies’.
Impact of the application of AASB 1031 & AASB
2013-9
The revised AASB 1031 is an interim standard that cross-
references to other Standards and the ‘Framework for the
Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements’
(issued December 2013) that contain guidance on
materiality. The AASB is progressively removing references
to AASB 1031 in all standards and Interpretations. Once all
these references have been removed, AASB 1031 will be
withdrawn. The adoption of AASB 1031, AASB 2013-9 (Part
B) and AASB 2014-1 (Part C) does not have any material
impact on the disclosures or the amounts recognised in the
consolidated financial statements.
Impact of the application of AASB 2012-3
The amendments to AASB 132 clarify the requirements
relating to the offset of financial assets and financial
liabilities. Specifically, the amendments clarify the meaning
of ‘currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off’ and
‘simultaneous realisation and settlement’. The amendments
have been applied retrospectively. As the Group does not
have any financial assets and financial liabilities that qualify
for offset, the application of the amendments does not have
any material impact on the disclosures or on the amounts
recognised in the consolidated financial statements.
Impact of the application of AASB 2013-3
The amendments to AASB 136 remove the requirement to
disclose the recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit
(CGU) to which goodwill or other intangible assets with
indefinite useful lives had been allocated when there has
been no impairment or reversal of impairment of the related
CGU. Furthermore, the amendments introduce additional
disclosure requirements applicable to when the recoverable
amount of an asset or a CGU is measured at fair value less
costs of disposal. These new disclosures include the fair
value hierarchy, key assumptions and valuation techniques
used which are in line with the disclosure required by
AASB 13 ‘Fair Value Measurements’. The application of
these amendments does not have any material impact
on the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
healthscope annual report 2015 | 71
NOTE 2: Significant accounting
policies (continued)
(w) Adoption of new and revised Accounting (continued)
Impact of the application of AASB 2013-4
The amendments to AASB 139 provide relief from the
requirement to discontinue hedge accounting when a
derivative designated as a hedging instrument is novated
under certain circumstances. The amendments also clarify
that any change to the fair value of the derivative designated
as a hedging instrument arising from the novation should
be included in the assessment and measurement of
hedge effectiveness. As the Group does not have any
derivatives that are subject to novation, the application
of these amendments does not have any material impact
on the disclosures or on the amounts recognised in the
consolidated financial statements.
Impact of the application of Interpretation 21 ‘Levies’
Interpretation 21 addresses the issue as to when to
recognise a liability to pay a levy imposed by a government.
The interpretation defines a levy, and specifies that the
obligating event that gives rise to the liability is the activity
that triggers the payment of the levy, as identified by
legislation. The Interpretation provides guidance on how
different levy arrangements should be accounted for, in
particular, it clarifies that neither economic compulsion nor
the going concern basis of financial statements preparation
implies that an entity has a present obligation to pay a
levy that will be triggered by operating in a future period.
Interpretation 21 has been applied retrospectively. The
application of this Interpretation does not have any material
impact on the disclosures or on the amounts recognised in
the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

nOtE 3: Critical accounting
judgements
Critical accounting judgements and key
sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the Group’s accounting policies,
management is required to make judgements, estimates
and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
The estimates and associated assumptions are based on
historical experience and various other factors that are
believed to be relevant. Actual results may differ from
these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed
on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are
recognised in the year in which the estimate is revised if the
revision affects only that year or in the year of the revision
and future years if the revision affects both current and
future years.
(a) Critical judgements in applying the entity’s
accounting policies
The following are the critical judgements that the Directors
have made in the process of applying the Group’s accounting
policies and that have the most significant effect on the
amounts recognised in the financial statements:
Employee entitlements
Management judgement is applied in determining the
following key assumptions used in the calculation of long
service leave at balance date:
• Future increases in wages in salaries;
• Future on-cost rates;
• Experience of employee departures and year of service;
and
• Appropriate discount rate to reflect long term liabilities
at present value.
Fair value measurements and valuation processes
Some of the Group’s assets and liabilities are measured
at fair value for financial reporting purposes. Management
determines the appropriate valuation techniques and inputs
for fair value measurements and reports these to the Board
of Directors.
In estimating the fair value of an asset or liability, the Group
uses market observable data to the extent it is available.
Where Level 1 inputs are not available, the Group engages
third party qualified valuers to perform the valuation.
Management works closely with the qualified external
valuers to establish the appropriate valuation techniques
and inputs to the model.
Information about the valuation techniques and inputs used
in demining the fair value of various assets and liabilities are
disclosed in NOTE 33.
Recovery of deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets, including those arising from temporary
differences and tax losses, are recognised only when
it is considered probable that they will be recovered.
Various factors are used to assess the recoverability of
deferred tax assets including the nature and timing of their
origination, future operating results, operational plans and
compliance with relevant tax legislation associated with
their recoupment. Recoupment of tax losses recognised in
the consolidated statement of financial position is based
on justifying tax loss recoupment rules (including the Same
Business Test in the year losses are recouped).
These judgements and assumptions are subject to risk and
uncertainty; hence, there is a possibility that changes in
circumstances will alter expectations, which may impact the
amount of deferred tax assets recognised on the balance
sheet. In such circumstances, some or all, of the carrying
amount of recognised deferred tax assets may require
adjustment, resulting in a corresponding charge to the
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
healthscope annual report 2015 | 73
Impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets
Determining whether goodwill and other intangible assets are
impaired requires an estimation of recoverable amount for
the cash-generating units to which these assets have been
allocated. The recoverable amount of each cash-generating
unit is the greater of its value in use or fair value less costs
to sell.
Value in use is determined as the present value of the
estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the
continued use of the asset in its present form. Value in
use is determined by applying assumptions specific to the
Group’s continued use and cannot take into account future
development. Fair value is determined as the amount that
would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm’s
length transaction between knowledgeable and willing
parties. Further details with respect to key assumptions
are disclosed in NOTE 17.
The carrying amount of goodwill at the end of the year was
$1.74 billion (2014: $1.77 billion). The carrying amount of
other intangible assets at the end of the reporting year was
$66.5 million (2014: $78.1 million). Details of the impairment
assessments are set out in NOTE 17.
nOtE 3: Critical accounting
judgements (continued)
(b) Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future,
and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of
the reporting year, that have a significant risk of causing
a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets
and liabilities within the next financial year:
Medical Malpractice Insurance
During the year, management performed the regular review
of the medical malpractice insurance claims provision
across the Group, which is included in the statement of
financial position as at 30 June 2015 at $7.1 million (2014:
$6.3 million).The provision represents the present value of
the estimated future outflow of economic benefits that may
be required to be made to meet malpractice claims made
against the Group.
Onerous lease contracts
The onerous lease contract provision has been derived
on the basis of the most recent assessment of the likely
net unavoidable cost to the end of the contract term.
Management have considered the future costs of the
contract which can be determined with a high degree of
accuracy. However, the future economic benefits expected
to be received are based on forecasts. Management
consider the liability to be the best estimate of the net
unavoidable costs as at 30 June 2015.

Notes to the consolidated financial statementsfor the year ended 30 June 2015 nOtE 4: Segment information
AASB 8 Operating Segments requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components
of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment
and to assess its performance. Accordingly the Group has determined the following operating segments:
• Hospitals Australia – the management and provision of surgical and non-surgical private hospitals
• Medical Centres – the provision of practice management services
• Pathology International – the provision of pathology services overseas.

Unrecognised taxable temporary differences
associated with investments
Investments within tax-consolidated groups
Healthscope Limited calculates deferred taxes in relation
to investments within tax-consolidated groups using the
‘change in tax status’ view. Under this view, an entity leaving
a tax-consolidated group would be considered a voluntary
change in tax status, i.e. the entity no longer is taxed as
part of the tax-consolidated group, but is taxed either as a
stand-alone taxpayer, or alternatively as part of another tax-
consolidated group (with different reset tax values).
This view results in no deferred tax being recognised until
such time as an entity leaves the tax-consolidated group.
Whilst the entity was a member of the group, the investment
would be considered to have no tax consequences because
all transactions and balances between entities in the
tax-consolidated group are ignored for tax purposes.
This approach is consistent with the option of treating the
pre-implementation effects of tax consolidation as a
change in tax status.
tax Consolidation
Healthscope Limited elected to form a multiple entry
consolidated group with effect from 22 September 2010.
Healthscope Limited and its controlled entities joined the
consolidated group with effect from 12 October 2010. The
multiple entry tax consolidated group converted to a tax
consolidated group on 29 July 2014. The accounting policy
in relation to this legislation is set out in NOTE 2(b).
Entities within the tax-consolidated group have entered
into a tax funding arrangement, which sets out the funding
obligations of members of the tax-consolidated group in
respect of tax amounts. The tax funding arrangements
require payments to / from the head entity equal to the
current tax liability / (asset) assumed by the head entity
and any tax-loss deferred tax asset assumed by the head
entity, resulting in the head entity recognising an inter-entity
receivable / (payable) equal in amounts to the tax liability /
(asset) assumed. The inter-entity receivable / (payable) is
at call.
Contributions to fund the current tax liabilities are payable in
accordance with the tax funding arrangement and reflects
the timing of the head entity’s obligation to make payments
for tax liabilities to the relevant tax authorities.
The head entity, in conjunction with other members of the
tax-consolidated group, has also entered into a tax sharing
agreement. The tax sharing agreement provides for the
determination of the allocation of income tax liabilities
between the entities should the head entity default on its tax
payment obligations. The effect of the tax sharing agreement
is that each member’s liability for tax payable by the tax
consolidated group is limited to the amount payable to the
head entity under the tax funding arrangement.

The average credit period for the provision of services is 28 days (2014: 26 days). No interest is charged on trade receivables.
An allowance has been made for estimated irrecoverable trade receivable amounts arising from the past provision of
services, determined by reference to past default experience. During the current financial year, the allowance for doubtful
debts decreased by $3,882 thousand (2014: decreased by $657 thousand) due to the transfer of the provision balance to
liabilities associated to assets classified as held for sale.
Included in the Group’s trade receivable balance are debtors with a carrying amount of $14.4 million (2014: $21.1 million)
which are past due at the reporting date for which the Group has not provided as there has not been a significant change
in credit quality and the Group believes that the amounts are still considered recoverable. The Group does not hold any
collateral over these balances. The average age of these receivables is 80 days (2014: 69 days).
healthscope annual report 2015 | 85
nOtE 10: trade and other receivables (continued)
In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the Group considers any change in the credit quality of the trade
receivable from the date credit was initially granted up to the reporting date. The concentration of credit risk is limited due
to the customer base being large and unrelated. Accordingly the Directors believe that there is no further credit provision in
excess of the allowance for doubtful debts.
As at 30 June 2015 $113.4 million (2014: $113.4 million) of trade receivables remain sold to our financier under the
Receivables Securitisation Program. The proceeds from the sale were used for working capital purposes.

NOTE 13: Assets classified as held for sale
As at 30 June 2015, the Group was in the process of disposing its interests in Clinical Laboratories Pty Ltd and Gribbles
Information Technology S/B (Malaysia), otherwise referred to as Pathology Australia, to Crescent Capital Partners. The fair
value less costs to sell of the business unit was lower than the aggregate carrying amount of the related assets and liabilities.
Therefore, an impairment charge of $5.6 million was recognised on reclassification of the asset and liabilities as held for sale
as at 30 June 2015.
On 6 July 2015, Healthscope completed this divestment.
The major classes of assets and liabilities of the intended disposal are:
Carrying value of net assets classified as held for sale
Impairment loss on re-measurement to fair value less costs to sell

During the year ended 30 June 2015, the Group purchased property, plant and equipment to the value of $332.0 million
(2014: $149.4 million) and disposed of property, plant and equipment (other than via a business combination) with a
written down value of $6.2 million (2014: $1.6 million). The purchase price of property, plant and equipment is considered
by the Directors to at least equate to the market value of the assets at 30 June 2015.
The Directors believe that the carrying value of property, plant and equipment will be fully recoverable from the assets
use and subsequent disposal (refer NOTE 2(e)).

During the year ended 30 June 2015, the Group purchased property, plant and equipment to the value of $332.0 million
(2014: $149.4 million) and disposed of property, plant and equipment (other than via a business combination) with a
written down value of $6.2 million (2014: $1.6 million). The purchase price of property, plant and equipment is considered
by the Directors to at least equate to the market value of the assets at 30 June 2015.
The Directors believe that the carrying value of property, plant and equipment will be fully recoverable from the assets
use and subsequent disposal (refer NOTE 2(e)).

(i) on 23 June 2015, Healthscope limited announced the sale of its pathology australia business. the sale completed on 6 July 2015.
(ii) pathology International comprises the cash generating units relating to the pathology businesses in new Zealand, Malaysia and Singapore.
Impairment of goodwill
As required under accounting standard AASB 136 Impairment
of Assets, the Healthscope Group performs an impairment
assessment when there is an indication or trigger of a
possible impairment of its non-current assets. In addition,
at least annually, the Healthscope Group performs an
impairment review of goodwill and indefinite life intangible
assets, regardless of whether an impairment indicator has
been identified. The annual review of goodwill and indefinite
life intangible assets was performed at 30 June 2015.
Impairment indicators
After considering the trading performance of each of the
Healthscope Group’s CGU’s for the twelve months to 30 June
2015 and the terms of sale related to the Pathology Australia
business announced on 23 June 2015, an impairment
indicator was identified for the Pathology Australia CGU.
No impairment indicators were identified for the Healthscope
Group’s other CGU’s.
with its recoverable amount based on the higher of its value
in use (present value of future cash flows) or fair value less
costs to sell (net selling price).
Assumptions
The assumptions used for determining the recoverable
amount of each CGU are based on past experience and
expectations for the future. Cash flow projections are
based on management’s forecasts. These forecasts require
management estimates to determine income, expenses,
working capital movements, capital expenditure, and cash
flows for each CGU. The projected cash flows for each
individual CGU are discounted using an appropriate discount
rate and terminal growth rate unique to each CGU.
The following assumptions were used in determining the
recoverable amount of each cash generation unit based on
value in use as at 30 June 2015.
• 2015/2016 management approved profit and loss and
cash flow budgets for each cash-generating unit;
Impairment testing approach
Impairment testing compares the carrying value of a CGU
•
Inherent growth factors consistent with current
performance for each CGU.

Hospitals 9.9% (2014: 9.9%), Medical Centres 9.9%
(2014: 9.9%), Pathology International 9.9% (2014: 9.9%),
• Cash flow projections covering a five-year period
and terminal value; and
• Terminal growth factors have been set at:
Hospitals 3.0% (2014: 3.0%), Medical Centres 2.5% (2014:
3.0%) & Pathology International 3.5–4.5% (2014: 3.0–4.0%).
For Hospitals Australia, Medical Centres and Pathology
International management believes that any reasonable
possible change in key assumptions on which recoverable
amount has been assessed would not cause the carrying
amount of the CGU to exceed its recoverable amount.
Management assessed Pathology Australia for impairment
with reference to the fair value of consideration expected to
arise on sale less cost to sell and recorded an impairment
of $5.6 million to goodwill.

The restructure transactions were accounted for as
“common control” transactions and as a result no fair
value adjustments or goodwill were recognised. Assets and
liabilities were consolidated at their existing carrying value
with the difference between the consideration paid and the
carrying value of net assets recognised within equity as part
of the group reorganisation reserve.
The Group reorganisation reserve represents the capital
contribution received from / capital distribution made to the
common parent entity of the transacting entities.
(d) employee benefits reserve
The above equity-settled employee benefits reserve
relates to performance rights granted by the Company
to its executives under its executive performance rights
plan. Further information about share based payments to

(a) Foreign exchange reserve
The foreign currency translation reserve comprises all
foreign exchange differences arising from the translation of
the financial statements of foreign operations where their
functional currency is different to the presentation currency
of the reporting entity, as well as from the translation of
liabilities that hedge the Group’s net investment in a foreign
subsidiary.
(b) Hedging reserve
The cash flow hedging reserve represents the cumulative
effective portion of gains or losses arising on changes in
fair value of hedging instruments entered into for cash flow
hedges. The cumulative gain or loss arising on changes in
fair value of the hedging instruments that are recognised and
accumulated under the heading of cash flow hedging reserve
will be reclassified to profit or loss only when the hedged
transaction affects the profit or loss, or is included as a basis
adjustment to the non-financial hedged item, consistent with
the relevant accounting policy.
(c) Group reorganisation reserve
The Group reorganisation reserve initially arose through a
series of “common control” transactions related to a Group
reorganisation following the acquisition of the Healthscope
business by funds advised and managed by TPG (TPG FOF
VI SPV, LP.) and Carlyle (Carlyle HSP Partners, LP.) on 12
October 2010.
In preparation for the IPO of Healthscope Limited, two group
reorganisation transactions were undertaken which resulted
in Healthscope Limited acquiring 100% of the shares in:
• Healthscope Pathology Holdings Pty Ltd and its
controlled entities (“Pathology Australia”) on 29 June
2014; and
• CT HSP (Dutch) Cooperatief U.A. and its controlled
entities (“Pathology International”) on 28 July 2014.
These transactions occurred whilst Healthscope Limited,
Pathology Australia and Pathology International were under
the common control of CT Healthscope Holdings L.P. CT
Healthscope Holdings L.P was the legal parent entity of
the Healthscope business for the period from 12 October
2010 (the date the Healthscope business was acquired by a
consortium of funds advised and managed by TPG and The
Carlyle Group) until its IPO on 28 July 2014.

The accounting policies of the parent are the same as the Group’s policies.
106 | healthscope annual report 2015
Notes to the consolidated financial statementsfor the year ended 30 June 2015
The significant movement in net debt to equity ratio is
principally due to the IPO of Healthscope Limited on 28 July
2014 as loan facilities in the comparative period were settled
in conjunction with the IPO.
(b) Significant accounting policies
Details of the significant accounting policies and methods
adopted, (including the criteria for recognition, the bases of
measurement and the bases on which income and expenses
are recognised) in respect of each class of financial asset,
financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in
NOTE 2 to the financial statements.
(c) Financial risk management objectives
The Group’s Corporate Treasury function provides services
to the business, co-ordinates access to domestic and
international financial markets, monitors and manages the
financial risks relating to the operations of the Group through
internal risk reports which analyses exposures by degree and
magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including
currency risk, fair value interest rate risk and price risk), credit
risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk.
The Group seeks to minimise the effects of these risks by
using interest rate swaps to hedge interest rate exposures.
The use of financial derivatives is governed by the Directors,
which provide written principles on interest rate risk, credit
risk, the use of financial derivatives and non-derivative
financial instruments, and the investment of excess liquidity.
The Group does not enter into or trade financial instruments,
including derivative financial instruments, for speculative
purposes.
The Corporate Treasury function reports regularly to
executive management.
The Group’s activities expose it primarily to the financial
risks of changes in interest rates. To manage its exposure
to interest rate risk, the Group enters into interest rate
swaps to mitigate the risk of rising interest rates.
nOtE 33: Financial
instruments
(a) Capital risk management
The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in
the Group will be able to continue as a going concern
while maximising the return to stakeholders through the
optimisation of the debt and equity balance.
The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, which
includes the borrowings disclosed in NOTE 20, cash and
cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders of
the parent, comprising issued capital, accumulated losses and
reserves as disclosed in NOTES 23, 24 and 25 respectively.
The Group operates within Australia, New Zealand and
South East Asia, primarily through subsidiary companies
established in the markets in which the Group trades.
None of the Group’s entities are subject to externally
imposed capital requirements.
Operating cash flows are used to maintain and expand the
Group’s assets, as well as to make the routine outflows of
tax, dividends and repayment of maturing debt.
The Group’s policy is to borrow centrally using a variety
of capital market issues and borrowing facilities, to meet
anticipated funding requirements.
The Directors of the Group review the capital structure
on an annual basis. As a part of this review, the Directors
consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with
each class of capital.
The gearing ratio at year-end was as follows:

The Group does not have any significant credit risk exposure
to any single counter party. The credit risk on liquid funds
and derivative financial instruments is limited because the
counter parties are banks with high credit ratings assigned
by international credit-rating agencies.
The carrying amount of financial assets recognised in the
financial statements, which is net of impairment losses,
represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk
without taking account of the value of any collateral or other
credit enhancements held.

(e) Credit risk management
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter party will default
on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to
the Group. The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing
with creditworthy counter parties and obtaining sufficient
collateral where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the
risk of financial loss from defaults. The Group’s exposure
and the credit ratings of its counter parties are continuously
monitored and the gross value of transactions concluded is
spread amongst approved counter parties. Credit exposure
is controlled by counter party limits that are reviewed and
approved by the risk management committee annually.
Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers,
spread across diverse industries and geographical areas.
Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial
condition of accounts receivable and, where appropriate,
credit guarantee insurance cover is purchased.
108 | healthscope annual report 2015
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests
with the Directors, which has established an appropriate
liquidity risk management framework for the management
of the Group’s short-term, medium-term and long-term
funding and liquidity management requirements. The
Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate
reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities
by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows
and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets
and liabilities. Included in NOTE 31 is a listing of additional
undrawn facilities that the Group has at its disposal to further
reduce liquidity risk.
The Healthscope Group’s finance facilities are subject to
certain covenants as outlined in the Syndicated Facility
Agreement dated 1 July 2014.
The financial covenants comprise:
•
Interest cover ratio; and
• Senior gearing ratio.
At the date of this financial report the Directors of the
Healthscope Group are satisfied that the minimum
requirements of the covenants have been met and
are not aware of any event or potential event of default
under the Senior Finance Documents.

(h) Interest rate risk management
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk as the Group borrows funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The Group
manages the risk by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate borrowings, through the use of interest
rate swap contracts. Hedging activities are evaluated regularly to align with interest rate views and defined risk appetite;
ensuring optimal hedging strategies are applied, by either positioning the statement of financial position or protecting interest
expense through different interest rate cycles.

The Group’s exposures to interest rates on financial assets and financial liabilities are detailed in the liquidity risk
management section of this Note.
Interest rate sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for both derivative and non-
derivative instruments at the reporting date and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the financial year and
held constant throughout the reporting year. A 100 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk
internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the possible change in interest rates.
At reporting date, if interest rates had been 100 basis points lower or higher and all other variables were held constant,
the Group’s:
• Net profit/(loss) after tax would increase by $7.07 million (2014: $2.44 million) and decrease by $7.07 million (2014: $2.44
million). This is mainly attributable to the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings.
Interest rate swap contracts
Under interest rate swap contracts, the Group agrees to exchange the difference between fixed and floating rate interest
amounts calculated on agreed notional principal amounts. Such contracts enable the Group to mitigate the risk of changing
interest rates on the cash flow exposures on the issued variable debt held. The fair value of interest swaps at the reporting
date is determined by discounting the future cash flows using the interest rate curves at reporting date and the credit risk
inherent in the contract, and is disclosed below. The average interest rate is based on the outstanding balances at the start
of the financial year.
The following table details the notional principal amounts and the remaining terms of interest rate swap contracts outstanding
as at the reporting date.

Notes to the consolidated financial statementsfor the year ended 30 June 2015
The interest rate swaps settle on a monthly basis. The floating rate on the interest rate swaps is the Australian BBSW.
The Group will settle the difference between the fixed and floating interest rate on a net basis.
All interest rate swap contracts exchanging floating rate interest amounts for fixed rate interest amounts are designated as
cash flow hedges to reduce the Group’s cash flow exposure resulting from variable interest rates on borrowings. The interest
rate swaps and the interest payments on the loan occur simultaneously and the amount deferred in equity is recognised in
the profit or loss over the year that the floating interest rate payments on the debt impact profit of loss.
(i) Fair value of financial instruments carried at amortised cost
Except as detailed below, the Directors consider the carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded
at amortised cost in the financial statements approximate their fair values.

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:
• The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded in active liquid
markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices.
• The fair value of other financial assets and financial liabilities (excluding derivative instruments) are determined in
accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis using prices from observable
current market transactions.
• The fair value of derivative instruments, are calculated using quoted prices. Where such prices are not available, use is
made of discounted cash flow analysis using the applicable yield curve for the duration of the instruments for non-optional
derivatives.
• The fair value of financial guarantee contracts is determined using option pricing models where the main assumptions are
the probability of default by the specified counterparty extrapolated from market-based credit information and the amount
of loss, given the default.
Fair value hierarchy
The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair
value, grouped into levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.
Level 1 – fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities.
Level 2 – fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that
are observable for the assets or liability either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3 – fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability
that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

nOtE 39: Share based payments
The LTI Plan is designed to align the interests of Senior Executives with the interests of shareholders by providing the
opportunity for participants to receive an equity interest in Healthscope through the granting of Performance Rights.
Growth remains a key plank of Healthscope’s strategic plan and it is appropriate that Senior Executives be incentivised
around measures which demonstrate sustainable growth. The LTI Plan also acts to retain key executives who have the
capacity to influence company strategy and direction and therefore supports company performance and the interests
of shareholders over the longer term. Grants pursuant to the LTI Plan are made a face value.
Healthscope introduced the LTI Plan at the time of IPO and the FY15 LTI grant delivered awards in the form of Performance
Rights. Each Performance Right entitles the holder to acquire one ordinary share in Healthscope on satisfaction of
performance conditions.
Performance Rights were granted at no cost to the participants as they form part of remuneration. The Performance Rights
are subject to two separate performance measures – 75% of the LTI grant is measured against Absolute Earnings Per Share
(EPS as defined in section 7.3.3) and 25% of the LTI grant is measured against Relative Total Shareholder Return (RTSR).
Performance is tested against these measures at the end of the performance period, being 30 June 2017. Performance
Rights do not carry any voting or dividend entitlements.
Detail of Performance Hurdles
The dual performance hurdles – EPS and RTSR (with an absolute TSR gate or threshold of 7.5% to be achieved before
RTSR can be assessed) have been selected to ensure that the mix of measures means that both lead indicators (indicative
of Healthscope business operations) and lag indicators (reflecting the market’s reaction to the company’s past performance)
are utilised.
The EPS measure was selected because of its correlation with long term shareholder return and its lower susceptibility
to short term share price volatility. This measure also provides a greater ‘line of sight’ between Senior Executives’ actions
and the way in which their performance is measured. Consequently, this component was more heavily weighted in order
drive performance and provide an appropriate retention incentive.
RTSR measures the performance of an ordinary Healthscope share (including the value of any cash dividend and any
other shareholder benefits paid during the period) against total shareholder return performance of a comparator group of
companies, comprising a segment of the S&P ASX100 Index, over the same period. The Board believes that RTSR is an
appropriate hurdle, as it links Senior Executive reward to Healthscope’s relative share performance which is consistent with
creating shareholder value relative to Healthscope’s peer group. No reward is achieved unless Healthscope’s TSR is higher
than the median of this comparator group.

Fair value of performance rights
The average fair value of the performance rights granted during the financial year is $1.67. Performance rights granted during
the financial year were priced using a Monte Carlo simulation for the TSR Performance Rights and a Black Scholes valuation
model for the EPS Performance Rights. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted based on management’s best
estimate for the effects of exercise restrictions (including the probability of meeting market conditions attached to the option).
