Northern Health

Find out how the savewater!® efficiency service is helping one of Victoria's leading health services save water without compromising patient care.

NorthernHealth
The Northern Metropolitan Health Service (Northern Health) is comprised of Broadmeadows Health Service, Bundoora Extended Care Centre (BECC), The Northern Hospital, and Panch Health Service (PHS).

Together, Northern Health represents one of the busiest health services in Victoria; one that is rapidly increasing throughput and patient numbers serviced in various departments within each constituent service each year. In 2000 Northern's combined services saw 163,000 patients. By 2004 this number had increased to over 210,000.

The case studies below show how Northern Health has implemented the savewater! efficiency service at its Broadmeadows and Northern Hospital sites without compromising patient care - saving a staggering 19% of pre-project water consumption at the Broadmeadows Health Service pilot site.
