We have exciting news to share!

We can announce that the Minister for Health has formally approved the integration of CHIRP Community Health and Castlemaine Health.

Integration will be formally implemented on 1 October. From that date, CHIRP and Castlemaine Health will be working as one to strengthen services and programs to improve health and wellbeing outcomes for our community.

Community health clients and the wider community won’t experience any changes to the services they receive or those delivering their care.

Community health services currently delivered from CHIRP’s premises on Mostyn Street will continue, as will the services being delivered in the community and at Castlemaine Health.

We expect to find natural opportunities to combine and grow services but this will happen over time. Because this is just the beginning.

So what does this mean for you? Hear from Castlemaine Health CEO Sue Race:
