Healthcare industry insights

Nash has worked on buy side and sell side mandates within the healthcare industry, most notably within the dietetics, medical consumables, occupational therapy, and aged care sectors.

The Australian healthcare sector is evolving rapidly driven by a rising elderly population and prevalence of chronic diseases. Government funding, including Medicare and digital healthcare initiatives, coupled with ongoing sector investment, has spurred significant development and growth, contributing to the healthcare industry's long-term success.
