The Loddon Mallee Public Health Unit Strategic Plan 2026 - 2030 has been released, outlining the priorities that will guide public health action across the region over the next five years.  

The plan sets a clear direction for strengthening prevention, preparedness and partnership across the Loddon Mallee, with a focus on place-based and equity-driven public health initiatives. 

Five strategic objectives will guide this work: communication, collaboration, capacity building, health protection and population health. These priorities aim to strengthen regional capability, improve coordination across sectors and support earlier prevention of illness and disease. 

For stakeholders across the region, the plan provides a shared framework for collaboration and coordinated action. It supports partners to work together on locally tailored initiatives that address community needs, improve access to services and strengthen public health outcomes across the Loddon Mallee.
