Eastern Melbourne PHN is a Primary Health Network funded by the Australian Government to improve the care and support people receive from health services. We work in partnership to improve the way services are connected and to ensure they are easy to access when people need them most. We work closely with health professionals, consumers and carers to scope the gaps, identify emerging community needs and purchase services that address these needs. We invest in a range of initiatives to make a difference in our priority areas including chronic disease, mental health, alcohol and other drugs, digital health, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health, immunisation and general practice support. We aim to improve the health of our community by ensuring people receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time. Our community of 1.6 million people live in Melbourne’s east and north east, from the inner-eastern suburbs of Melbourne, to the Yarra Valley in the east, and semi-rural communities as far north as Kinglake. www.emphn.org.au

Eastern Melbourne PHN acknowledges the Wurundjeri people and other people of the Kulin Nation on whose unceded lands our work in the community takes place. EMPHN respectfully acknowledges their Ancestors and Elders past, present and emerging.

Every year on the 10th September, communities, organisations and governments across Australia and around the globe come together to mark World Su***de Prevention Day. It is a time to reflect, connect, and recommit to our shared goal of preventing su***de and spreading hope.

It’s a call to shift from silence and stigma to openness, empathy and action, to ensure those who are struggling feel heard, supported, and connected. Together, we can help create a future where more lives are saved and more stories are shared.

The Mental Health & AOD Integrated Care Pilot Project has reshaped how care is delivered to individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance use needs. Led by Access Health & Community, Holstep Health, and EMPHN, the pilot brought together services, staff, and lived experience voices to co-design a more responsive and integrated system of care.

From strengthened leadership and improved collaboration to the development of the Victorian Integrated Care Compass (VICC), the project has laid the groundwork for sustainable, person-centred care across the EMPHN catchment.

This Asthma Week (September 1-7) Asthma Australia is asking parents to help flip the script and Attack Asthma for their child. It’s time we Attack Asthma before the symptoms start!

Asthma is one of the leading causes of children ending up in hospital. New research by Asthma Australia shows that while most parents feel like they are confident in managing their child’s asthma, nearly two thirds live in constant fear of an asthma attack.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

A daily preventer can help keep your child's asthma under control, reducing the chance of an attack. This means less time feeling sick or in the hospital and more time for them to just be a kid. Instead of waiting for symptoms like wheezing or difficulty breathing, use a preventer every day to help your child breathe normally.
