We Have Moved!

Our services have been located at 60 McCrae Street, onsite at Swan Hill District Health, for many years. However, with the exciting new re-development of Emergency Department and other services, we are moving offsite for a few years as our current building will soon be demolished.

Our new location is 125 Campbell Street, and this will be the home of all services from 60 McCrae Street, including those is the Cancer Care Services building.

To align with our service re-location we have changed our name from Health Promotion to Community Health to more clearly reflect the vast array of services we provide.

These include:

• Health Promotion
• Community Health Nursing- including Diabetes Education, Breastfeeding Support, Refugee Health, Women’s Health and Sexual Health.
• Community Development Programs

We also have our Dietetics team, the McGrath Breast Care Nurse and Cancer Care Coordinator co-located with us at Community Health.

16 Days of Activism

Through Respect Victoria and Safe and Equal the 16 days of Activism starts on the 25th of November and finishes on the 10th of December.

The 16 days of Activism aims to promote messages of respect, support and equality through their campaign of Respect Women: ‘Call it out’ (Respect is). By increasing support for Respect and equality can lead to a reduction in gender-based violence.

This campaign is important for the Swan Hill district as we have some of the highest rates of domestic and family violence in Victoria.

The Swan Hill District Gender Equity Network is working with the 16 Days of Activism. We are hoping to create local messages and representation from community to help create conversation around 'Why Gender Equity is important to you?’.

See below on how to get involved in creating conversation in the Swan Hill region.
