As a fourth-generation Australian family business, Galvin Engineering knows just how important family is. Whether it's ageing parents or loved ones living with disability, they also understand it's important for people to retain their independence – and do so safely.

High quality independent living presents some unique considerations for architects, designers, and specifiers entrusted with designing bathrooms to meet specialized health or well-being needs. Because to maximize quality of life, equality of opportunity and peace of mind, many challenges need to be overcome.

Stringent hygiene requirements

Bathroom design must tackle mobility and balance issues, height and reach needs, cognitive ability, and memory considerations, along with stringent hygiene requirements.

Bathroom design must tackle mobility and balance issues, height and reach needs

That's why Galvin Engineering has developed their assisted living range specifically with comfort, care and convenience in mind, guaranteed to meet the highest standards of compliance in Australia.

By replicating the rhythms of daily life and facilitating autonomy to perform basic tasks such as showering and brushing teeth, healthcare operators deliver comfort and quality of life and peace of mind for loved ones.

Directional temperature indicators

They have the solutions that give all Australians independence, regardless of age or ability. Their expertise covers everything from simple grab rails to avoid falls and shower mixers with colored oversized directional temperature indicators to avoid scalding to touch-free sensor tapware and Bluetooth-enabled solutions that monitor temperature or time.

As the market for independent living increases, so does the demand for healthcare settings designed with empathy and creativity that allow people to thrive independently. Beyond meeting growth market demands, high-quality water solutions have far-reaching benefits. There's a strong argument that good bathroom design delivers a positive return on investment for healthcare operators.

Improving hygiene management

The right solutions can deliver many functional and operational benefits. For instance, increase infection control with auto flushing and in-situ disinfection, improve hygiene management, lower maintenance costs and increase staff effectiveness.

Additionally, monitoring water flow provides the oversight many operators need to manage service standards alongside their operating expenses.

Galvin Engineering’s specialized range of water solutions preserves autonomy and dignity without compromising safety and functionality. With them, users know they're getting products proven to withstand the test of time and enhance operational effectiveness. Their solutions are built better, last longer and are available right here in Australia.

Enhancing operational effectiveness

Everything they design, manufacture or sell is compliant with all relevant Australian Standards and requirements. Since 2000 they have retained their WaterMark certification, ISO 9001 Quality Systems Certification, ISO 14001 Environmental Systems Certification, as well as NSW Health approvals, TMV3 approvals & WELS.

For more than 50 years, aged care and healthcare facilities across Australia have trusted Galvin Engineering to provide safe, green and smart water solutions for a healthier environment.
