The design elements in the hospital were carefully developed to help patients, families, visitors and staff find their way around. Each level of the hospital has a theme inspired by Australian flora and fauna and reflects the Victorian landscape. Patient and family areas feature colourful artwork, graphics and signage that relates to the different themes.
