About Safety Measures
The Story so Far
We can’t address what we can’t measure.
Ideally, the data captured incidentally through service delivery would be accessible to those responsible for system and service design, delivery and evaluation, across all states and territories, and the rights of all people to exercise ownership over their data would be upheld.
While this is not the current reality, Safety Measures is an initiative set up to develop and test shared approaches across jurisdictions, that could be scaled up to form a national picture.
