- improve the family/carer voice in recognising and responding to deterioration
- improve the understanding and monitoring of how ViCTOR charts are utilised throughout Victoria.
The Safer Care for Kids Clinical Lead role is critical for ensuring strong consumer partnership, context and clinical expertise, leadership and strategic advice at each stage of this work.
