flag Victorian hospitals hide financial losses, raising transparency concerns amid widespread deficits.

flag Victorian hospitals' financial reports now exclude key indicators, sparking transparency concerns. flag While core operating results remain, supplementary metrics are missing, drawing criticism from opposition and health experts. flag Austin Health reported a $142 million net loss, and Western Health a $117 million loss, despite some improvements in operating performance. flag Monash Health was the only hospital to pay small business invoices within 10 days 100% of the time. flag Broader government departments also posted large deficits, including VicTrack’s $1.258 billion loss and Homes Victoria’s $344.4 million loss, largely due to infrastructure accounting. flag The government cites an $816 million improvement in the operating deficit forecast and ongoing infrastructure and cost-of-living support, while critics blame mismanagement and warn of future service cuts.
