About Safewards Victoria

About the model

Safewards is a model of care that encourages nurses and clinical staff to:

  • reduce conflict and containment within mental health services
  • identify and address the causes of behaviours in staff and patients that may result in harm 
  • support a culture of safety, respect and inclusion.

We are supporting Victorian mental health services to implement the Safewards Model.
