Gippsland Region

Map of the Gippsland Region as it sits in Victoria. Our regional operations cover six local government areas with approximately 247,710 residents, and we have departmental offices in Warragul, Morwell, Traralgon, Leongatha, Sale and Bairnsdale.

In conjunction with many stakeholders, our focus is on protecting and promoting health and well being in Gippsland. The majority of regional office staff are involved in providing direct client services in Child Protection and Placement, Youth Justice, Disability Services and Housing. However, much important work is also undertaken in planning and working with the many agencies that provide health and community care services throughout the region.

Gippsland is characterised by innovation and cooperation. The region has been a pioneer of Neighbourhood Renewal in the Latrobe Valley and is proud of other collaborative programs such as the Better Health Care in Gippsland Project. Inter-departmental co-operation is also a hallmark of the region.

The regional office supports its staff with training and development opportunities, and has introduced an excellent orientation program for new staff. We are committed to continuously improving the quality of our work and participate in the department's internal quality program, the Service Excellence Framework.
