We’re focused on supporting Victorians to be as healthy as they can; whether through alerting them to seasonal risks like thunderstorm asthma, notifying them of contact with communicable diseases, safeguarding their drinking water, developing the best health, wellbeing and care facilities in the world, being at the forefront of mental health and wellbeing treatment or accelerating medical research. It’s all part of the way we partner with the community to help every individual lead a healthy life.

Additionally, the unit leads priority projects and election commitments, such as the 10,800 laparoscopies for endometriosis and associated conditions initiative and the Metro CRM Project, as well as providing oversight and management of 8 Delivery and Innovation Teams and 23 Patient Support Units (who are health service based planned care recovery and reform entities), which drive on the ground improvement.
