Asset planning and management, in the context of a health and aged care organisation, is a comprehensive and structured approach to the long term management of assets, from the valuation, purchase, operation, to the sale of assets, to enable efficient and effective delivery of health services in line with strategic objectives.

Asset management is a process that includes identification of a need for the asset; a decision that is based on evaluation of alternatives that takes into account full life cycle costs, benefits and risks of the asset; provision of the asset, including its operation and ongoing maintenance; and the disposal of the asset.
