VAHI contributes to the Department of Health’s reform agenda in many ways, including:  

• analysing and sharing information across the Victorian health system to ensure services have an accurate picture of their quality and safety  

• monitoring and reporting on public and private services that impact on health, wellbeing, quality and safety, in order to stimulate and inform improvements, increase transparency and accountability, and inform the community  

• collecting and analysing information about the health status of Victorians to inform policy development and planning, and to give a complete picture of health in Victoria.
