Deal significance:

According to a Riverside press release, Riverside has made 80 strategic investments in specialised healthcare businesses such as IPAR.

IPAR principally serves large insurance companies who either administer or underwrite the workers’ compensation cases for the various government entities.

IPAR, established in 2003, has 41 locations and over 240 employees across Australia.

“This deal is yet another example of global private equity firms investing in Australian businesses, with healthcare proving to be an especially attractive sector,” said Mr Lanzer.
