A MESSAGE FROM THE REGIONAL DIRECTOR

The Hume Region extends over 40,000 square kilometres of provincial northeast Victoria, encompassing many communities that culturally rich and diverse. 

The Region contains twelve local government areas.  It is geographically various as it includes Victoria’s alpine areas, some relatively remote farming communities and the major regional centres of Wodonga, Wangaratta and Shepparton.

Our role is to ensure the communities throughout this region have access to effective health, housing and community services.  We are pleased to work in partnership with over 200 health and community organisations providing a wide range of services, including aged care, health services, disability programs, housing and a number of family and children’s services. 

Our staff teams also work in many of these areas and several other programs including emergency management. DHS also leads a number of key initiatives in the region, most of which focus on integrated service planning and ensuring seamless continuity of care. 

Underlying all these programs and projects is the commitment of the regional staff to continuously improve the services we provide and a focus on achieving the best possible outcomes for our clients.

I hope your visit to this site will provide you with a wealth of information about DHS programs in the region and the new policy initiatives coming from government.
