We’re expanding Victoria’s early parenting centre (EPC) network to support new parents and carers.
Having a baby or child under four years of age is a special time for families. But it can also be a stressful time. For some, support from loved ones, their local doctor, and a maternal and child health service will be enough. Others will experience more persistent challenges. That’s where EPCs can help.
Good design provides a platform to transcend aesthetics to deliver benefits well beyond the built form. These benefits include improved models of care and safety, enhanced treatment outcomes and more dignified experiences for patients, aged care residents, staff and families.
Watch Stefano Scalzo, Executive General Manager of Infrastructure Planning at the Victorian Department of Health, and Professor Julie Bernhardt, Co-head of Stroke at the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health discuss the benefits of good design in health infrastructure.
Living well in aged care
By focusing on the needs of residents in public aged care, we can create a supportive environment that enhances wellness and promotes independence.
