Implementing Safewards in the ACT

Safewards is a program that encourages staff and consumers including carers, family, and support people to work together to make wards safer and more positive places to be. It helps nurses, clinical and supporting staff reduce conflict and support a culture of safety, respect and inclusion.

Safewards is being implemented as part of the Towards a Safer Culture Strategy to 12 wards in the ACT by 2026.
