How staff support can lead to a better patient experience
Peer Supporters are staff are trained volunteers who are passionate about supporting their colleagues in times of need.
"When staff feel heard and supported, it cultivates a positive environment to continue to progress patient care."

How innovation can lead to better care
A revolutionary, implantable mechanical device to be tested at The Alfred is set to provide new hope to patients with debilitating heart failure. Developed in Australia, the Total Artificial Heart can adapt its pumping capabilities through a novel engineering solution.
"The Total Artificial Heart is intended to fully replace a natural heart, providing patients with a possible alternative to heart transplant."

Taking a holistic approach to caring for all Victorians
The Diabetes Connecting Care Clinic (DCCC) at Caulfield Hospital offers more than holistic integrated care for people living with complex type 2 diabetes.
"One day, I hope to have a Diabetes Clinic in Bendigo, inspired by the Diabetes Connecting Care Clinic model at Caulfield Hospital. This will support local GPs in effectively managing their patients, fostering a healthier and more connected community."
Dr Mario Fernando | Bendigo GP
To improve the lives of our patients and their families, our communities and humanity.
Through the Alfred Heath Strategic Plan 2024–2030 we showcase the valuable contributions of our many stakeholders. We have listened carefully to all these voices – our patients, local community, staff and partner organisations.
The strategic plan reflects those conversations, capturing the expectations and aspirations of our stakeholders. Responding to the pressing needs of the COVID-19 pandemic, our previous strategic plan was focussed on a short three-year cycle. As we move forward from those challenges, our new Strategic Plan will offer direction and clarity of purpose over the next six years. This longer timescale will provide the time for our ambitious plans to come to fruition.
To develop this strategic plan, we have considered the developing trends in healthcare, detailed population level data, the local specific needs of our catchment and the wider social, economic regulatory context in which our health service operates.
