Highlights

- Project targets improved healthcare access and reduced medevac needs
- Visionflex also expands aged care support through virtual nursing initiative
Visionflex Group (ASX:VFX) is taking a significant step forward in Australia’s healthcare technology landscape with a newly secured contract from resources giant BHP Group (ASX:BHP). The deal enables Visionflex to deliver its advanced telehealth solution across BHP’s remote worksites in Western Australia, improving healthcare access for employees in isolated locations.
Under the agreement, Visionflex will install its all-in-one patient-facing telehealth carts at 13 on-site medical centres and outfit one emergency response helicopter with a mobile telehealth kit. This technology allows staff at remote locations to receive timely diagnoses from medical professionals without requiring immediate transportation to urban centres.
The initial value of the contract stands at $400,000, covering hardware delivery and a full year of software subscriptions. BHP has opted for upfront payment, demonstrating a strong commitment to integrating virtual healthcare into its operations. Visionflex anticipates completing the rollout by the end of June 2025.
Visionflex’s CEO, Josh Mundey, highlighted that this project represents more than just technological integration—it directly supports employee wellbeing by offering real-time clinical support across vast and often challenging environments. By reducing the need for medical evacuations and offsite travel, BHP is also expected to see notable savings in operational logistics.
This development underscores the growing relevance of telehealth in critical industries and strengthens Visionflex’s position within the healthcare tech sector on the ASX300 index.
In addition to its work with BHP, Visionflex is advancing healthcare access for older Australians. The company has signed a 15-month agreement with Amplar Home Health to deliver virtual care services across up to 30 aged care homes. The initiative, which focuses particularly on rural and remote communities, allows residents to access specialists, receive diagnoses, and be monitored without needing to leave their facility.
These developments position Visionflex as a noteworthy player in Australia’s growing med-tech ecosystem. Its revenue generation model—anchored in software subscriptions and hardware deployment—offers a pathway for consistent income streams, a characteristic many look for in ASX dividend stocks.
As Australia continues to bridge healthcare access gaps using digital solutions, Visionflex appears well-placed to contribute meaningfully across both industrial and residential sectors.
