Our radiologists operate across all major time zones, enabling high-quality daytime reporting and reducing clinical risk associated with fatigue.

3. Everlight Structure, Operations and Supply Chain

Everlight directly employs and contracts specialist radiologists globally. Our clinicians perform remote teleradiology reporting for hospitals and health services across Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, United Kingdom and Ireland.

 

Everlight employs administrative and non-clinical leadership staff in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, United Kingdom, Ireland and in the United Arab Emirates.

 

Our supply chain primarily involves:

  • ICT infrastructure, software, teleradiology platforms and cybersecurity systems
  • Professional services including Recruitment, Workflow Planning, People and Culture, Credentialing, and Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) services
  • Office facilities, telecommunications, and equipment suppliers
  • Third-party vendors of medical imaging and reporting technology and security products

 

Although Everlight does not operate physical production or manufacturing facilities, we recognise that global supply chains for technology equipment, IT hardware, and professional services present potential modern-slavery risks.

 

We apply due diligence processes when selecting and reviewing suppliers, and we prioritise reputable organisations whose values align with our standards for human rights, ethical labour practices and environmental responsibility.

These risks are regularly reviewed and monitored.
