Ten Year Capital Plan

This project aims to develop a Ten Year Capital Health Plan which provides a framework for the investment and development of the Victorian public health system over the next ten years.  The implementation of this Statewide framework will ensure that there is a responsible approach to the investment in replacing and upgrading health service capacity for the benefit of all Victorians.
