- improved sepsis, stroke, delirium, asthma, medicines safety and value-based care through statewide improvement partnerships
- strengthened clinical governance through new tools, training and the Quality and Safety Capability Framework
- improved mental health care by reducing restrictive practices and supporting safer, more person-centred care
- expanded regional access to clinical trials through 45 new teletrials and stronger research infrastructure
- rolled out the refined Victorian Children’s Tool for Observation and Response (ViCTOR) chart across all Victorian health services providing paediatric care, supporting earlier recognition of deterioration.
