Eastern Health is one of Melbourne’s largest metropolitan public health services. We provide a range of emergency, surgical, medical and general healthcare services, including maternity, palliative care, mental health, drug and alcohol, residential care, community health and statewide specialist services to people and communities that are diverse in culture, age, socio-economic status, population and healthcare needs.
Healthcare never comes without risks. Staff in hospitals and health services provide care for people who can be extremely fragile. They may be at risk of having a fall, picking up an infection, developing a pressure injury or having complex medication needs.
These complexities are always at the front of the minds of healthcare professionals, who are trained to identify risks and prevent adverse outcomes. Tuesday 17 September marks Patient Safety Day, a day where health services across the world shine the spotlight on providing safe care for all patients.
We all know safe patient care is vital 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Eastern Health is committed to providing high-quality, safe care for all our patients every single day. We firmly believe that patient safety is everyone’s business – with each individual, team and department having an impact on safe patient care. We have robust systems in place to ensure the safety of our patients, staff, volunteers and visitors.
We are committed to providing an environment that is free from violence and aggression. We strive to provide a welcoming environment for all and to eliminate barriers to care by supporting people of different cultures, backgrounds and abilities.
The quality and safety of care we provide are overseen by a dedicated team of staff working in your local health services – whether in senior management or at the bedside – we are all proactively working together, with the aim of a positive and safe outcome for all.

All around Australia consumers (patients, carers, families and the community) are getting involved in health organizations and services. Consumers are people who currently use our health services and community members who may need to in the future. They are sharing their experiences as users of health services, commenting on consumer and carers’ issues and becoming active partners in the design, planning and evaluation of health services.
Eastern Health has adopted the following definitions, based predominantly on the Victorian Department of Health and Human Services’ Doing it with us not for us policy (2006):
refers to individuals who have used or are current users of an Eastern Health service. Consumers can be patients, clients or residents of an Eastern Health service. This includes children, women and men, people living with a disability, people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, socio-economic status and social circumstances, sexual orientations, health and illness conditions.
Refers to families and friends providing unpaid care to consumers.
Refers to groups of people who have interests in the development of an accessible, effective and efficient health service that best meets their needs.
The meaningful involvement of consumers, carers and community members in decision-making about health policy and planning, care and treatment, and the wellbeing of themselves and the community. Participation involves having a say, thinking about why others believe what they believe, and listening to the views and ideas of others. There are five types of participation: information; consultation; partnership; delegation and control.
Consumers bring a unique perspective to Eastern Health and this is important to us. We need to know what is important to our community to help make Eastern Health a health service that meets your needs.
