DEA warmly congratulates the Victorian Government on its landmark commitment to power all public hospitals with 100% renewable electricity from 1 July this year, through the State Electricity Commission initiative.

For more than a decade, DEA has called for hospitals and healthcare facilities to embrace all-electric, renewable-powered infrastructure as a cornerstone of sustainable, climate-resilient care.

This policy commitment is a huge win for climate and health, and a crucial step toward reducing the healthcare sector’s environmental footprint.

Doctors for the Environment Australia strongly supports the Greens motion in the WA Parliament that would allow local governments to exclude gas connections from new residential and commercial developments, citing overwhelming evidence that gas appliances pose serious risks to public health.

While the ACT and Victoria have already banned gas in new homes, Western Australia has lagged behind. Sydney and several other councils in NSW have also banned or are planning to ban gas in new homes. This motion represents an opportunity for WA to catch up and prioritise health by empowering local councils to make decisions that protect their communities.
