Health and social services
About
In Cardinia Shire we want local services and community groups to work together to ensure residents can access appropriate and affordable services and facilities, which promote and protect health and wellbeing throughout life.
Our objective
Increase access to services and social support close to home
We will do this by:
- attracting and supporting appropriate health and social services which fill identified service gaps.
