Moving from competition to collaboration

Our strategic directions

Together, we achieve more. It’s that simple. We are not in a competition. We are partners in creating better, safer, more sustainable health outcomes for Victorians. We are in it together. And we are in it for each other.

This includes the people of Victoria, our health, wellbeing and care workers, the department, the health and mental health sectors, our local communities, national bodies, ACCHOs, states and territories, public, private, and non-government organisations. It also includes the people who are invested in, responsible for, and passionate about the health and wellbeing of Victorians.

By sharing data, knowledge, research, and resources, we can design and deliver better and more integrated services that lead to better health outcomes for all. We will have a unified health, wellbeing and care system that delivers exceptional patient care.

Data, health information and evidence will be brought together by advanced platforms that speak to each other. This will ultimately provide a seamless patient experience and improved health outcomes for individuals and communities.

As the number of people with chronic conditions that require multiple care providers increases, it is more important than ever that care teams are all on the same page and working towards a common goal.

Priority initiatives include:

  • Local Health Service Networks - Continue to embed Local Health Service Networks to strengthen collaboration, and support consistent, equitable access to high quality care.
