MELBOURNE AGED CARE SAFETY

The Challenge
Melbourne aged care facilities face unique safety challenges, from manual handling injuries during resident transfers to infection control compliance and medication administration risks. Traditional safety programs struggle to engage workers and maintain consistent adherence to protocols, leading to preventable incidents and compliance gaps.
Melbourne's aged care sector employs over 45,000 workers across 380+ facilities. Recent WorkSafe Victoria data shows manual handling injuries account for 60% of reported incidents, while infection control breaches remain a critical concern. Local facilities implementing digital safety recognition programs report significant improvements in compliance and reduced incident rates.
Our Solution
Safety Recognition & Rewards revolutionizes aged care safety culture through instant digital recognition of safe behaviors. Our platform delivers immediate rewards when care workers demonstrate proper lifting techniques, maintain infection control protocols, or report potential hazards. This real-time positive reinforcement drives sustained behavior change and creates a proactive safety culture.
