Our goals are to promote and achieve the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities by providing services that are responsive to local needs and opportunities and to work with people to help them acquire the skills and knowledge needed to live healthy lives.

 

The basis on which our direction as an organisation is underpinned; Department of Human Services (DHS) Policy titled “Community Health Services – creating a healthier Victoria”.

 

To achieve this we work collaboratively with a strong network of health, government and community services in NE Victoria and the Albury Wodonga region. By working together to develop individual and collective skills, to advocate and formulate healthy policies and develop and secure healthy environments we will achieve a healthier, happier and more productive society. By assessing local and individual needs and being a forward thinking organisation, Upper Hume Community Health Service will also seize opportunities for innovative action and new partnerships to help better the health and wellbeing of our communities.
