Sustainability at Western Health

Western Health recognises that providing best care to communities across Melbourne’s West includes acknowledging the current climate crisis and its impact on the health outcomes of our community.

Western Health’s Sustainability Plan 2020 - 2025 sets the focus areas and deliverables for a 5-year period. The Sustainability Plan outlines a delivery pathway that embeds sustainability as a core aspect of our operations.  The four Sustainability Plan objectives include:

1. Embed sustainability as a core aspect of our business

2. Create a clear pathway to achieve net zero emissions

3. Incorporate climate change action as part of our corporate responsibility

4. Continual discovery and innovation

Our approach is based on data analysis, research and innovation. We aim to maintain our leadership in the healthcare sector, efficiently using natural resources. Our sustainability plan framework focusses on active engagement with leadership teams, clinicians, staff, health service partners, suppliers and government to implement best practices and achieve sustainability at all levels of the organisation.

For Western Health, sustainability is now business as usual.
