Prescriber Communique - DOP Contract

25 July 2017

Dear Prescriber,

Following a robust tendering process that commenced in September 2016, SWEP can confirm Air Liquide Healthcare P/L (Air Liquide) as the successful bidder to provide home oxygen under the Domiciliary Oxygen Program.

Ballarat Health Services/SWEP and Air Liquide have entered a new agreement that means that Air Liquide will continue to provide oxygen to eligible clients for the next two years, until 30 June 2019. 

While existing services will continue, effectively without change, the new contract provides for:
  • All previously existing packages, familiar equipment and procedures continue;
  • There will be no change to service level arrangements, including the existing high standard of emergency response. However, there may be some changes to Air Liquide's regional agent network;
  • All previously existing packages will remain within the SWEP subsidy; and
  • There is potential to introduce a new Portable and Stationary concentrator package, not previously achievable within the SWEP subsidy (Please note that clients will still need to meet the criteria for a POC).

Through the contract period, SWEP will also work with Air Liquide and our DOP clinical advisors to reconfirm technical and service requirements.

Contact Lauren Lennecke, Team Leader, Domiciliary Oxygen Program if you require any further information.

Kind Regards,

Fiona Wakeling 
Deputy Director
