Future-Ready Health Infrastructure Through Strategic Asset Planning

South Australia Health

Case Study - SA Health - 01

Aligning SA Health’s asset portfolio to its long-term vision and service needs

Client: SA Health

Location: Adelaide, SA / Kaurna Country

The challenge

SA Health needed a clear, actionable strategy to guide infrastructure investment across its diverse portfolio of health facilities in Adelaide. The challenge was to align current assets with future operational needs, while addressing gaps in maturity and ensuring long-term service sustainability.

Our Approach

Lucid partnered with SA Health to develop a Strategic Asset Management Plan (SAMP) that would not only assess the current state but also map out a 20-year strategy. This involved:

  • Reviewing the existing asset management system and practices
  • Engaging stakeholders to understand future goals and service requirements
  • Evaluating the organisation’s asset maturity level using the SAM+ framework
  • Facilitating workshops to co-develop and iterate strategy
  • Aligning the final plan with ISO 55001 and SA Health’s strategic objectives

The process was iterative and highly collaborative — blending technical rigour with real-world operational insight.

Solutions delivered

  • Strategic Asset Management Plan for a multi-site health portfolio
  • Maturity assessment using the Institute of Asset Management’s SAM+ tool
  • Workshops and scenario planning to align infrastructure decisions with strategic goals
  • Gap analysis and prioritised roadmap for system and process improvements
  • Integrated 20-year asset planning model to inform capital investment

Outcomes

  • Clear visibility into asset maturity and infrastructure priorities
  • A strategic roadmap aligned with SA Health’s operational and service objectives
  • Enhanced capability to plan for future service delivery and funding requirements
  • Strengthened internal engagement around infrastructure strategy
  • A repeatable framework that can be adapted for other public sector portfolios

Better World Impact

Health infrastructure underpins the wellbeing of entire communities. Lucid’s work with SA Health ensures that decisions about buildings and systems are informed, forward-looking, and aligned with the needs of tomorrow’s patients and clinicians. It’s infrastructure planning — with care at its centre.
