From 1 April, 2022, Central Victorian Primary Care Partnership is transitioning to join the Loddon Mallee Public Health Unit (LPHU) and forge a strong future as part of the Loddon Mallee Health Network. The LPHU is managed by Bendigo Health as lead member of the Network.
The change is in line with a Victorian Department of Health intention to support, strengthen and grow the contemporarypublic health system and improve public health outcomes for local communities by consolidating skills, knowledge and governance across a catchment area and formalise partnerships within the local area.
Fellow Primary Care Partnerships in the Northern Mallee, Southern Mallee, Bendigo Loddon and Campaspe regions will also come together as a part of the transition to the Loddon Mallee Public Health Unit.
From April 1st, 2022 we will be known as the Central Victorian Prevention and Population Health Team at the Loddon Mallee Public Health Unit. While the Central Victorian PCP as an entity will no longer exist, our key staff and their vital role in the community’s prevention and public health space will continue and be strengthened by the integration with other regional public health functions.
We ask for your patience and understanding in the weeks leading up to and following the formal transition date as we work through the practicalities of the new arrangement.
