People, place, partnerships
Amid ongoing reforms and growing health needs in our communities, independent registered community health services remain vital to Victoria’s health system, serving as a critical safety net for over 670,000 – 1 in 10 – Victorians.
The number of people accessing community health services grew by 11% last year, showing more Victorians than ever before are seeking support through our organisations.
