Community health services
There are more community health centres than ever before, and they’re
keeping Victorians healthy, in all sorts of ways.
Different communities have different health issues, and community health
centres address them effectively. There are 100 community health services
in Victoria, operating from about 400 sites, providing help for those
who need it most.
Community health centres play a key role in maintaining the health of
all Victorians, particularly those with the poorest health and greatest
economic and social needs, or who may have trouble accessing appropriate
health care. They promote good health and help prevent illness, or the
deterioration of existing conditions. They encourage involvement. They
help people take control of their health ways that are positive and empowering.
To make contact with the Community Health Service nearest you just call

Services Directory on the Better
Health Channel website.
