Major Trauma in Victoria – Better Health Channel
In Victoria, the state trauma system responds in a coordinated way to provide immediate care to anyone experiencing a major trauma event. The ongoing coordination of the Victorian State Trauma System (VSTS) is co-funded by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) to ensure major trauma patients are managed in the best possible way. The objective of the VSTS is to reduce preventable death and permanent disability and improve patient outcomes by matching the needs of injured patients to an appropriate level of treatment in a safe and timely manner.
