Indigenous Procurement
That Delivers Real Capability
Meet your Indigenous procurement targets with a genuine specialist healthcare FM provider — not a labour hire intermediary. Health Trade Services is 100% Indigenous owned and operated, delivering integrated facilities management to hospitals and aged care facilities nationally.
Finding Capable Indigenous Providers in Technical Services Is Hard
Procurement officers in healthcare know the challenge: Indigenous procurement targets are increasing, but finding Supply Nation certified providers with genuine technical capability in specialist trade services is difficult. The result is often a compromise — engaging Indigenous businesses for low-value, low-complexity work while continuing to use non-Indigenous providers for the high-value FM and compliance contracts.
Health Trade Services eliminates this compromise. We are a verified Indigenous business with 25+ years of healthcare-specific trade expertise, full licensing across electrical, data, and building services, and the operational capacity to deliver integrated FM programs at hospital scale. When you engage Health Trade Services, your Indigenous procurement spend goes to a provider that would win the contract on capability alone.
Policy Frameworks We Support
Health Trade Services is verified and eligible under every major Indigenous procurement policy framework in Australia.
Commonwealth Indigenous Procurement Policy (IPP)
The IPP requires Australian Government entities to award a minimum percentage of contracts to Indigenous businesses. The target has progressively increased and now represents a significant procurement obligation for all Commonwealth-funded health entities.
3% of eligible contracts to Indigenous businesses
NSW Aboriginal Procurement Policy (APP)
The NSW APP mandates that government agencies, including Local Health Districts and Health Infrastructure, direct a percentage of addressable spend to verified Aboriginal businesses registered with Supply Nation or certified by NSWICC.

State Health Infrastructure Procurement
Major capital works and maintenance contracts for state health infrastructure increasingly require Indigenous participation plans as part of tender evaluation criteria — not just as a weighting, but as a mandatory threshold.

Why Health Trade Services Is Different
We compete on capability first. Indigenous ownership is our identity, not our business model.
Genuine Specialist Capability
We are not a labour hire company with an Indigenous ownership structure. We are licensed, insured, specialist tradespeople who have worked exclusively in healthcare for over 25 years. Every dollar spent with Health Trade Services buys real trade capability.
Healthcare-Only FM Provider
We understand the compliance frameworks, operational constraints, and clinical safety requirements that govern healthcare facilities. Generalist Indigenous contractors cannot match this depth of sector-specific expertise.
Audit-Ready Documentation
Every engagement produces full compliance documentation, procurement records, and Indigenous spend reporting that satisfies audit requirements under IPP, APP, and tender contract conditions.
Scalable National Capability
From single-facility maintenance contracts to multi-site FM programs across state health networks — we scale our delivery model to match the size and complexity of your procurement requirement.
