🌟 Standing Together Against Racism 🌟 Local women from East Preston and East Reservoir have bravely shared their personal experiences with racism. We invite you to watch this powerful 3-minute video, to listen, reflect, and take a stand against racism in our community. These women have thoughtfully shared the deep impact racism has had on their lives, their families, and their communities. This video is a part of the Our Place, Our Purpose project, produced by Your Community Health with the support of Darebin City Council. Let us come together to create a more inclusive and supportive neighbourhood for all. 💪💜 #StandAgainstRacism #CommunityStrength #OurPlaceOurPurpose #YourCommunity #YourHealth

We could not be more excited to display these beautiful artworks in our health centres soon! Thank you Tiffany Hunter for sharing your talent with us once again, it is a pleasure collaborating with you.
Respect. Courage. Resilience. 🎨 Kaydo Kertheba! These three vibrant artworks are more than just paintings—they are powerful messages to inspire change, empower us to continue having a voice and our reminder that we are the most oldest, resilient living culture in the world. 🖤 Inspired by my time spent in Healesville over the past few weeks with my family and the stories shared. ✨ Respect: A bold statement against discrimination, this piece reminds us that while we come in different shades, we share the same blood—still proudly Aboriginal. ✨ Courage: Honoring the brave voices in our communities who speak up to create change, and those who work tirelessly to build lasting impact for our people. ✨ Resilience: A reminder that bold hearts lead to strong futures. This piece provides strength as we step into the new year, celebrating the resilience that defines us. These artworks are now part of Your Community Health Centres, spreading cultural strength, safety, and pride. May they empower everyone who sees them to honor the legacy of the oldest, most resilient living culture in the world 🌍 With over 140 staff members from @yourch_org leaving their mark and commitment to each piece of canvas! #InspireChange #CulturalPride #Respect #Courage #Resilience

Proud to be working with DPV Health, IPC Health, Merri Health, Darebin City Council and Merri-bek City Council as part of the North West Melbourne Aged Care Assessment Alliance.
DPV Health is excited to announce our appointment as the lead agency for the North West Melbourne Aged Care Assessment Alliance, delivering the new Single Assessment System for older people in our communities! The North West Melbourne Aged Care Assessment Alliance (NWMACAA) has been appointed by the Federal Government to provide a Single Assessment System (SAS) for older consumers across northern and western Melbourne. The SAS is an end-to-end system to support older consumers to access home care and residential aged care services in a way in which they have greater control and choice in the services they receive. SAS benefits for consumers will include: - Simplified assessment process with the NWM Assessment Alliance having capability to conduct all types of Aged Care Assessments. - Consistent assessments through new streamlined tools. - Wellness and reablement focus allowing people to regain their confidence, ability and the necessary skills to live as independently as possible. - Services will be delivered by local organisations and people representative of the communities they support. The implementation of the SAS follows reforms into Aged Care Assessment arising from recommendations from the Royal Commission in Aged Care Quality and Safety in 2021. DPV Health CEO, Don Tidbury, says “We are delighted to work with our alliance partners to deliver Single Assessment System for older people across Melbourne’s North and West. Currently older people often have to move between assessment agencies as their needs change, doing their best to navigate an overly complex health system. The new streamlined and single system means older people will get supports quicker and more easily with less confusion and duplication.” The Alliance, led by DPV Health, is a consortium of four community health organisations (DPV Health, IPC Health, Merri Health and Your Community Health) and two local councils (City of Darebin and Merri-bek City Council), who are tasked to implement the new system.

🎉 Big news for LGBTIQA+ health and wellbeing! 🏳️🌈💜 We were proud to host the launch of Australia’s National Action Plan for the Health and Wellbeing of LGBTIQA+ People at Your Community Health today. Unveiled by Minister for Health The Hon Mark Butler MP and Assistant Minister The Hon Ged Kearney MP, this 10-year plan is a huge step towards fair, inclusive, and high-quality healthcare for LGBTIQA+ Australians. “For too long, Australia’s LGBTIQA+ community has faced healthcare barriers that no one should endure – discrimination, misunderstanding, and inequity. That’s why the Albanese Labor Government is launching this first-of-its-kind plan,” said Assistant Minister Ged Kearney MP. This plan is all about changing that. Thank you to everyone who joined us—we couldn’t be prouder to work towards a healthier, more inclusive future together. 💜 Access the plan here: https://lnkd.in/gYW8YWuD #YourCommunityHealth #LGBTIQAActionPlan #HealthEquity #InclusiveCare #StrongerCommunities #YourCommunity #YourHealth
