Highlights

Keep safe from COVID-19

Stay well with simple steps to protect yourself and others from COVID-19.
Services and support for all

There are a range of healthcare services available for all Victorians, whether you are seeing a doctor, going to hospital or need emergency or urgent care.
Mental Health and Wellbeing Local

Mental Health and Wellbeing Local is a new service that supports Victorian adults to get mental health and wellbeing treatment, care and support closer to home.
Save triple (000) for emergencies

To help paramedics save lives, save triple zero (000) calls for emergencies. Your GP, pharmacy and NURSE-ON-CALL can heIp with minor injuries and concerns.
Cosmetic procedures

Cosmetic procedures, like any form of surgery, need a medical practitioner trained in the procedure and appropriate recovery time, healing and proper care.

Healthy living

Health checks for men

Health checks can help you stay healthy, let you talk about any concerns with your doctor and pick up early warning signs of disease or illness.
Gut health

The health of your gut microbiome impacts both your physical and mental health.
Gas heaters

Have your gas heater serviced and tested by a trained and licensed gasfitter at least once every 2 years to avoid fires and carbon monoxide poisoning.
Health checks for women

It is important to see your doctor for regular health checks. The checks can pick up early signs of illness, which means you will get treatment earlier.
It's time to talk

Almost half of all Victorians will experience mental illness in their lifetime, but most people still feel too uncomfortable and uncertain to talk about it.
Physical activity – how to get started

When it comes to succeeding at your exercise program, setting goals and monitoring your progress will help you stay on track and get you to where you want to go
