Safer Care Victoria

When we launched the 100,000 Lives program in 2021, the goal was ambitious: to improve the care and outcomes of 100,000 Victorians through safer, more effective and more person-centred healthcare.

Five years later, the program has surpassed that goal, improving the lives of almost 160,000 Victorians across the state.

We have achieved this through:

On 30 June, more than 50 health services from across Victoria came together at Collins Square for the Adult Sepsis Collaborative 2025–26 Summative Event, marking the culmination of a 12‑month journey to improve sepsis care across the state.

30 June 2026 marked an important milestone for Victorian health services, with clinical governance maturity assessments now substantially completed across the sector. This is a significant step forward in strengthening clinical governance capability and establishing a shared understanding of governance strengths, opportunities and priorities for improvement.

In June 2026, we hosted our sixth and final My Maternity Journey expert working group workshop. This marks an important milestone in the co-design of this new statewide maternity resource. This resource will guide Victorian women and their families through every stage of pregnancy and birth.

Over the past 6 months, more than 40 expert working group members have contributed to the co-design process through monthly in-person workshops and content review.
