In 2021-22, we saw an increase in sentinel events related to patient deterioration, particularly in children and young people. In response, we proactively brought together more than 100 health care leaders, clinicians, patients, and families to consider how we might improve the safety and quality of care for children accessing emergency healthcare in Victoria.
This resulted in three key recommended actions:
We’re excited to celebrate a major milestone for the Virtual Pulmonary Rehabilitation (VPR) pilot, with the first Victorian successfully completing the program.
We are seeking input from Victorian public health service stakeholders to support the development of the Victorian Medicines Formulary (the Formulary).
Maternal sepsis is a serious and potentially life‑threatening condition that can occur during pregnancy, birth, or up to six weeks after birth. Recognising the signs early and receiving prompt care is essential to save lives.
We are consulting with consumers and key stakeholders to develop a Maternal Sepsis Pathway. This pathway will support healthcare staff across Victoria to recognise and respond to maternal sepsis quickly and consistently.

We are running a structured listening program to inform the early phase of the Strategic Ethics Reform Project. In this phase, we want to capture perspectives from across the Victorian research ethics system.

Sessions bring together participants based on their role within the ethics system, recognising that different functions experience the system in different ways.
