A hospital basin and an aged care ensuite carry the same underlying risk: cross-infection through a wet, high-touch surface used by vulnerable people multiple times a day. Gentec’s Health & Aged Care range addresses that risk with zero-lead Grade 304 and 316L stainless steel sensor tapware, NSW Health-approved thermostatic mixing valves for scald protection, and the Sterisan sanitary ware line – nano-glazed clinical basins engineered to AusHFG Type A, B and C classifications and AS1428.1 accessibility requirements. Every range on this page is intended for drinking-water contact and is either zero-lead or compliant with the ≤0.25% weighted-average lead limit under NCC 2022 Clause A5G4(2), mandatory since 1 May 2026. If you’re comparing sectors rather than specifying for a hospital or aged care facility specifically, start at the Industries hub instead – it covers all six Gentec verticals side by side.
Why Specifiers Choose Gentec
- GPURE® SMARTEC Plus sensor taps built from Grade 304 and 316L stainless steel with 0.00% lead content – verified lower than the 0.25% weighted-average ceiling permitted for lead-free brass under Australian Standards.
- GPURE® GENEVO requires no mains power connection, running on a proprietary battery rated to 500,000 solenoid cycles – practical for hospital retrofits where running new electrical infrastructure to every basin isn’t viable.
- FLOMIX thermostatic mixing valves are NSW Health Approved, addressing scald-protection requirements for vulnerable patients at both central plant and point-of-use.
- Sterisan® sanitary ware uses patented nano-glazing technology and, when paired with Grate Seal® basin waste, is designed to reduce splashback and airborne bacterial transmission – verified compliant with AS1428.1 and mapped to AusHFG Type A, B and C basin classifications.
- Built-in hygiene-flush programming on SMARTEC Plus and GENEVO automatically purges infrequently used fixtures to reduce Legionella risk without manual staff intervention.
- Push-Fit tap-body replacement on GENEVO takes under a minute without tools, minimising washroom downtime in active clinical areas.
- WaterMark certified and WELS 6-star rated across the sensor tapware ranges, supporting both plumbing compliance and water-efficiency reporting.
Which Page is right for you?
You’re specifying tapware, sanitary ware or safety showers for a hospital, aged care facility, medical clinic or accessibility-focused healthcare environment in Australia.
Choose the Corrections/Mental Health page instead if the environment requires anti-ligature, tamper-resistant tapware for a secure mental health ward or correctional facility – a different product category from standard clinical tapware.
Choose the Education page instead if you’re specifying for a school, university or research laboratory rather than a clinical healthcare setting.
How to Choose
- Confirm whether the project requires zero-lead stainless steel (0.00% Pb) or whether lead-free DZR brass (≤0.25% Pb) meets the specification -healthcare procurement teams increasingly specify zero-lead for drinking-water outlets.
- Check power availability at each basin location – specify GENEVO for retrofit areas without mains access, SMARTEC Plus where mains power is already run.
- Confirm AS1428.1 accessibility requirements for the specific room classification (ambulant, accessible, or standard) before selecting basin height and tapware reach.
- Verify TMV requirements against the relevant state health authority approval list – FLOMIX carries NSW Health approval, but requirements vary by jurisdiction.
- Cross-check the AusHFG Type A/B/C classification required for each clinical area against the specific Sterisan basin SKU rather than assuming all basins in the range are interchangeable.
