Business / Provider Profile
The Department of Health was established to help Victorians stay safe and healthy and deliver a world-class health system that leads to better health outcomes for all Victorians.
As a department, we are continually looking for ways to improve the health and wellbeing of all Victorians no matter who or where they are.
Our responsibilities include supporting the Health and Ambulance Services, Mental Health and Ageing portfolios.
In addition to this, we’re front and centre of the coronavirus (COVID-19) response and recovery efforts.
This has been a challenging period for all Victorians, but we remain committed to supporting our communities, healthcare workers and our health sector.
It’s through these efforts and collaboration we will be able to create a stronger healthcare system focussed on forming better bonds between our department, the healthcare sector, and the people of Victoria.
Our vision is to continue to ensure Victoria remains a great place to live, work and play by supporting Victorians to be the healthiest people in the world.

Why us
Our vision
Victoria is one of the greatest places in the world to live, work and play. Victorians are innovative, compassionate, creative and hard-working.
At the Department of Health, we’re focused on supporting Victorians to be as healthy as they can.
We do this by:
providing alerts to seasonal risks like thunderstorm asthma
notifying people of contact with communicable diseases
safeguarding drinking water
developing the best health, wellbeing and care services in the world
being at the forefront of mental health and wellbeing treatment
accelerating healthcare innovation.
Through these, and other activities, we partner with the community to help every individual lead a healthy life.
Because Victorians deserve nothing less.
And they also deserve a health, wellbeing and care system that is as smart and effective as they are.
A health, wellbeing and care system that respects them. Understands them. Prioritises them. That gives them the right care in the right place at the right time.
In undertaking this critical work, the department and our employees are committed to demonstrating integrity in our daily work through our behaviours and building and embedding this into our culture.
As a department we strive to inspire others to demonstrate integrity and serve the best interests of the Victorian community.
Our vision is that Victorians are the healthiest people in the world. It is a bold and ambitious vision – and we will not settle for anything less.
To make this vision a reality, we have 7 strategic directions:
Keeping people healthy and safe in the community
Providing care closer to home
Keep innovating and improving care
Improving Aboriginal health and wellbeing
Moving from competition to collaboration
A stronger and more sustainable workforce
A safe and sustainable health, wellbeing and care system.
Our values
