A State of Emergency has been declared in Victoria due to the serious risk to public health posed by coronavirus (COVID-19). For more information visit the Coronavirus page.
We have an ambitious vision for the state of Victoria: a vision of a Victoria free of the burden of avoidable disease and injury, so that all Victorians can enjoy the highest attainable standards of health, wellbeing and participation at every age. To make this happen though, we need a united effort - across government, across communities, across schools, health services and businesses. We all have a role to play in improving the health and wellbeing of Victorians.
