Community Health First Budget Submission

Community Health First unites all 24 registered independent community health services in Victoria, including Bellarine Community Health, with one shared goal – improving the health, wellbeing and quality of life of all Victorians.

Community Health First’s has been advocating for stronger investment in the Community Health sector and has now released its 2025 Victorian Budget Submission.

The submission sets out plans to scale evidence-based programs that improve health access and outcomes for Victorians and avoid an average of $3 in future healthcare costs for every $1 invested.

It includes support for Victorians on public surgery waiting lists, accessible healthcare in regional and rural communities, and preventative services to effectively manage chronic disease outside of hospital.

These programs can deliver a stronger, more sustainable and equitable healthcare system for all Victorians.
