Specialist Aged Care Flooring · Supply & Installation · Victoria-Wide Service
Aged care facilities across Melbourne and Victoria are under pressure. Slip and fall incidents create litigation risk. Accreditation audits demand documented compliance. Worn-out flooring harbours bacteria and creates infection control problems. And replacing floors in a live facility, without relocating residents or shutting down wings, is a logistical headache most contractors don't understand.
Melbourne's aged care sector is expanding. More facilities opening, more operators upgrading older buildings, more regulatory pressure to demonstrate safety compliance. From inner-city heritage buildings to purpose-built facilities in the outer suburbs, the flooring needs to be slip-resistant, infection-resistant, dementia-appropriate, and compliant, and it needs to be installed without disrupting the people who live there.
That's exactly what Premrest solves. We supply and install flooring specifically for aged care: Interface, Shaw Contract, Polyflor, and Forbo products that meet AS 4586 slip resistance standards. We work around your facility's schedule, including after-hours and staged installations. And we provide the testing and documentation auditors want to see.

Aged care flooring in Melbourne is rarely one product for the whole building. Older homes in Fitzroy, Carlton and South Melbourne often need a floor that works with an uneven slab and wings that cannot close. Purpose-built facilities in Box Hill, Ringwood, Frankston and the outer west are more often a staged change: carpet tiles in bedrooms and corridors, safety vinyl in bathrooms, dining and clinical rooms. Premrest specifies both to AS 4586 and installs them around the roster.
Melbourne's aged care sector is expanding. More facilities opening, more operators upgrading older buildings, more regulatory pressure to demonstrate safety compliance. If you're managing a facility, you're probably getting pressure on multiple fronts: accreditation audits, litigation risk, staffing costs, resident quality of life.
Here's what the industry actually cares about: Can your flooring prevent slips and falls? Does it reduce infection transmission? Does it help residents with dementia navigate the space without confusion or distress? Can you document compliance for auditors? And critically, can you install it without shutting down your facility?
That's what we solve. We specify flooring that meets AS 4586 slip resistance standards. We work with your operational schedule. We provide the testing and documentation auditors want to see. We've done enough aged care projects in Melbourne to know the actual constraints of your building, your residents, and your staff.

The work covers inner Melbourne, the eastern and western suburbs, the south-east, the Mornington Peninsula and regional Victoria. Carpet tiles and safety vinyl are specified to AS 4586 and staged around live operations. Call 1300 207 915 to book a site assessment.
Most Melbourne facilities use both. Carpet tiles from Interface and Shaw Contract go in bedrooms, corridors and lounges, where noise, comfort underfoot and tile-by-tile replacement matter. Safety vinyl from Polyflor, Forbo, Armstrong and Tarkett goes in bathrooms, dining rooms and clinical spaces, where spills and cleaning need a seamless, slip-rated surface. The product is chosen for the room, not one floor for the whole building.
Inner Melbourne, including the CBD, Fitzroy, Carlton, North Melbourne, South Melbourne and St Kilda. The eastern suburbs, including Camberwell, Hawthorn, Box Hill and Ringwood. The western suburbs, including Footscray, Sunshine, Essendon and Coburg. The south-east, including Bentleigh, Caulfield and Brighton, plus Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula. Regional Victoria is scheduled with the same crew and the same specification.
In most cases, yes. Installations are staged wing by wing or after hours and planned with the care team so the home stays open. Where a room does need to be cleared, the move is short and happens once. The same approach is used for a single stained carpet tile and for a full wing of safety vinyl. See floor replacement for aged care for how staged works are planned.
Yes. That is the usual aged care flooring specification in Melbourne. Wet and clinical areas take heat-welded safety vinyl. Bedrooms and corridors take carpet tiles in a dementia-friendly palette, with no bold pattern and no dark strips that can read as a step. One team supplies and installs both, so the junction between vinyl and carpet is detailed rather than left to a second contractor.
Call 1300 207 915 or use the form on this page. A site assessment measures the areas, checks the subfloor and confirms the slip rating and dementia-design requirements for each space. You then receive an itemised supply-and-install quote. We reply within one business day.
Tell us the facility, the problem, and the timing. We'll assess the site, discuss compliance requirements, and come back with practical options.
