At EBOS, we enable reliable and efficient healthcare and animal care by leveraging the breadth and depth of our skills and experience to work collaboratively with private and public customers.
Essential Infrastructure for Health
Overseen by our property team, we are continuing to expand and upgrade the Group’s network of modern and energy-efficient distribution centres through good design and high-quality implementation.
In FY24, Healthcare Logistics opened its second distribution centre in NSW, with pallet capacity of over 38,000 and featuring a 2MW solar array.
Supply Chain Resilience
Extreme weather events impact our operations with increasing severity and frequency, but we have robust processes and procedures in place to keep our employees safe and minimise disruption for customers.
Tropical Cyclone Kirrily struck Queensland in January 2024, cutting power to thousands of homes and businesses including Symbion’s Townsville distribution centre, which provides medicines to customers in Far North Queensland. The Townsville warehouse team worked over the Australia Day long weekend to refuel on-site emergency generators which had been activated to maintain critical temperature control for cold chain medicines. This ensured deliveries could be made as soon as roads and the airport were reopened for critical
supplies.
EBOS Distribution Network
Our investments further enhance EBOS’ resilience to climate events. We systemically evaluate operational risks, including disruption
to transport and utility services, for all key existing properties, relocations and new developments to ensure appropriate mitigation measures are in place. These include, among others, insurance, backup systems and fire protection.
