At South West Healthcare in Camperdown, Victoria, the team recently faced a challenge familiar across many aged care and healthcare facilities – outdated laundry infrastructure that no longer met their needs.
To safeguard resident wellbeing and meet the new AS 4146:2024 laundry standard, the organisation partnered with Richard Jay to deliver a fully compliant, future-ready laundry solution.
Designed for compliance and care
Richard Jay worked closely with the South West Healthcare team to deliver a complete upgrade tailored to the facility’s workflow and resident care standards. The installation included:
- 2 x Electrolux Professional WB6-20 Barrier Washers
Certified to AS 4146:2024, these washers are designed to maintain physical separation between clean and soiled laundry, dramatically improving infection control. - 2 x Electrolux Professional TD6-30 Electric Dryers
High-performance and easy to maintain, these dryers feature ergonomic lint drawers – making day-to-day operation more simple and hygienic for laundry staff. - 1 x DC6-8 Drying Cabinet
Ideal for delicates, the cabinet preserves residents’ items with gentle, tumble-free air drying. - Advanced ozone disinfection system
Reduced reliance on chemicals and heat means more effective and sustainable cleaning. - Ozone room air quality monitor
Smart sensors provide proactive alerts, protecting staff and supporting OH&S compliance.
Setting a new standard in compliant laundry systems
This integrated laundry solution offers the best of both worlds through ozone-based infection control and traditional heat/chemical disinfection – further optimised with custom programming and seamlessly integrated chemical dosing systems that create a more consistent and safer work environment.
Expertly delivered, ready for the future
Richard Jay’s end-to-end approach ensured that this project was delivered on time, with removal of old equipment, installation, commissioning and staff training all coordinated through one experienced team. South West Healthcare is now equipped with a solution that meets today’s compliance needs while setting a strong foundation for years to come.
