We are a Victorian public sector health service created under the Health Services Act and are responsible to the Minister for Health.
The key focus of our work at Rural Northwest Health is caring and supporting people to be healthy and live a full life. This is represented by our logo, which depicts a carer reaching out and embracing its community over the broad horizon. We provide care and programs with wide reaching community support and a warm and comforting approach.
Who We Serve
The population of the communities served by us is about 6,674 within the Yarriambiack Shire (ABS Census data 2016).
