Healthy Wellington

Victoria’s Primary Care Partnership (PCP) strategy brings together local health and human service providers who work together within voluntary alliances to improve the health of the community. Prevention is one of the core roles of a Primary Care Partnership. Wellington PCP’s role in prevention revolves around facilitating Healthy Wellington.

Healthy Wellington is a partnership of community and health agencies, working together to better the health of the Wellington community.

Healthy Wellington formed in 2013 when Wellington PCP led the integration of:

  • The Health Promotion Strategic Plan for health promotion funded agencies in Wellington. These include:
    • Central Gippsland Health
    • Gippsland Women’s Health
    • Wellington Primary Care Partnership
    • Yarram and District Health Service
  • Wellington Shire Council’s Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan

This integration has seen a change in health promotion planning and activity in the catchment as agencies work collectively in implementing one plan, rather than the previous approach of working together across multiple catchment plans.

The benefits of the integration of Healthy Wellington are:

  • Shared outcomes and measures
  • Shared resources and expertise
  • Reduced duplication
  • Building organisational and resource capacity

Over 2013 – 2017 the Healthy Wellington partnership was found to be a success, and in 2017 the plan was renewed to become Healthy Wellington Strategy 2017 -2021.
