Our Mission is to Help Reduce Infections and
The Associated Risk of Death.
- Our vision is Zero Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs).
- By funding world first HAI research right here in Australia.
- Our sole focus of fewer HAI deaths, and improved outcomes.
- Daylight Foundation is a registered charity with tax deductible status
Daylight Foundation
will be advocating for:
- More regular and detailed National HAI reporting.
- Implementing HAI performance-based standards.
- Indoor air monitoring standards for all healthcare facilities.
- Lowering risk of acquiring HAIs through reduction in patient length of stays in hospital.
- Improved health for all with fewer complications, including targeting zero HAIs.
As a healthcare system we can do better, and the Daylight Foundation will always be putting patients first and helping to drive an affordable, sustainable and world leading healthcare system in Australia.
Data Analytics
Through powerful insights, we employ progressive data analytics to drive informed decisions, focused on enhancing healthcare outcomes.
HAI Data
Dedicated to reducing Healthcare Associated Infections, we analyse and interpret data to implement effective prevention strategies for improved patient safety.
Healthcare Engagement
Engage healthcare stakeholders through active collaboration to promote awareness, facilitate dialogue and drive transformative solutions for improved health and well-being.
Better Use of Healthcare Data to
Reduce HAIs
In our relentless pursuit of safer healthcare environments, we are committed to utilising health data to significantly reduce the prevalence and impact of Healthcare Associated Infections.
Through use of advanced data analytics, proven new technologies and AI, we believe actionable insights can be extracted from vast healthcare datasets. This will help to identify high-risk scenarios, predict potential outbreaks and develop interventions for maximum efficacy. Post hospital discharge, our focus extends to personalised monitoring for high-risk patients. By ensuring transparency, we believe in empowering patients and incentivising healthcare providers to uphold the highest standards of infection control.

Have You or a Loved One Acquired an Infection During a Stay in Hospital?
We are seeking feedback from anyone who has had a Healthcare Associated Infection (HAI). Note this does not relate to Covid cases. This is an opportunity to provide some feedback from your perspective, as there is currently no national healthcare associated infection (HAI) program in Australia.
