Today, Alexandra District Health and Eastern Health announced that our Boards have formally recommended a voluntary amalgamation.
This follows the completion of a comprehensive business case and consideration of staff, stakeholder and community feedback.
This recommendation has been submitted to the Victorian Department of Health and the Minister for Health for consideration.
Importantly, no changes will occur unless and Minister approves the proposal. In the meantime, it is business as usual.
The recommendation is focused on strengthening access to care closer to home and supporting the long-term sustainability of local healthcare.
If approved, it would build on our established partnership with Eastern Health and expand inpatient care, increase specialist clinics and low-complexity surgery services, introduce a dialysis service, strengthen oncology services, and improve local access to diagnostics.

We will continue to keep our community informed.
