Health, Aged Care and Social Assistance

The health, aged care, and social assistance sector faces challenges due to an aging population, limited access to specialist services, and a shortage of qualified nurses. Local service providers are collaborating to find innovative new working models to meet and exceed these challenges.

The Murrindindi Health Network received a grant from Victorian Government’s Community Development Fund to prepare a comprehensive Strategy for workforce planning across all our various health, aged care and social assistance services. This work, called the Network Plan, reviewed current service delivery and workforce, considered alternative service models and created a shared vision for the future of health services across existing services. A related business case for a local training facility was also created.
