Health & WELLBEING

Minister for Health, Hon Mary-Anne Thomas visits Alphington’s Ambulance Station

Improving health and wellbeing services in Northcote is a priority for me and I will continue to fight to deliver more investment into tailored health, mental health and community services.

The Kennett Liberal Government’s closure of the Preston & Northcote Community Hospital in 1999 and the Fairfield Infectious Diseases Hospital in 1996 have meant local primary health services have been limited.

I’m determined to change that and ensure Northcote locals to have access to the public services they need, close to home.
