Community Health and Wellbeing Profile
Central Vic PCP staff have updated the Community Health & Wellbeing Profile and created a new-look document. This has been developed to provide information and statistics about the health and wellbeing of our region’s residents. Members can use the information as a resource in the planning of health priorities, to assist in submission writing, to gauge the development and success of long-term health promotion projects, and to lobby Governments for funding to improve health outcomes for our community.
