Safety
As Victoria’s healthcare safety and improvement agency, we know that most harm can be prevented through embedded safety cultures that promote continually improving quality and safety systems and practices.
Safer Care for Kids is a project that will improve the safety and quality of care for children accessing emergency healthcare in Victoria.
Health services must report the most serious cases of patient harm and death caused by adverse patient safety events, and make sure they’re properly reviewed.
When patients are unexpectedly harmed or die, a review team comes together to find out what happened, why, and how to prevent it from happening again.
Improvement
As the state's quality and safety improvement specialist, we have many resources to help you get started on your next improvement project.
We have established a number of Learning Health Networks (LHNs) that bring together clinicians, those with lived experience, academics, and improvement specialists to improve patient outcomes.
We run and support many improvement projects in Victorian health services.
Our partnering in healthcare framework will help you improve healthcare and outcomes for Victorians by better involving consumers and their families.
Our chief clinical officers
Victoria’s chief clinical officers provide expert leadership, advice and guidance on healthcare quality and safety to Safer Care Victoria and the Minister for Health.
We're helping to develop a National Nursing Workforce Strategy to address workforce challenges, and support the nursing profession.
