All suppliers under agreement with HSV, including sole traders, are required to keep their product or service information up to date in the National Product Catalogue (NPC).
Victoria's public health services rely on the HSV Catalogue as a trusted source of pricing and product information and the data for the HSV Catalogue comes from the NPC.
If a supplier doesn't keep their information up to date in the NPC, health services won't have full visibility of their products or services. The supplier may also be in breach of their contractual terms.
