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.

As a result of the COVID-19 lockdown period in 2020, and the subsequent impact on mental health due to increased isolation, the registered carers with the Latrobe Community Health Service (LCHS) told us they needed to be more active - and keep connected.
Because mental health doesn’t know how to tell time and alcohol and other drug support needs aren’t always between 9am and 5pm, from April 2022, in a first for the region, the Ballarat community will have access to mental health and/or alcohol and other drugs (AOD) supports after traditional business hours.
