Capital Management Branch (CMB) provides experienced and skilled Capital Project Management services across a range of programme areas including Acute Health, Aged Care, Mental Health, Disability Services and Placement and Support. Drawing on the skills of Technical Advisors in Sustainability, Architectural Design, Asset and Risk Management, Property Management and Fire Risk Management the branch provides expert advice across Rural and Metropolitan Melbourne projects.
CMBs strategic advice provided throughout capital development is aimed at ensuring each investment is united in purpose and completed within time, cost and quality objectives. Our Project Managers and technical advisors achieve this, while making certain that all business needs are met and the environmental impact is minimised by establishing the necessary processes for successful project delivery, complying with all government policies and statutory requirements and conducting the appropriate assessments and audits.
