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.

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.
