The Right Place

Central Highlands Council is proud to be a member of The Right Place program.

The Right Place aims to better connect people with health and community services.

The Right Place initiative aims to address the locally identified need for:

• Improved access to health and community services in the local area
• Improved coordination of the health and community services in the local area
• Improved health literacy of the community and member organisations
• Ensuring people are referred to the right service, in the right place at the right time

The locally identified needs will be addressed by:

• Improving service provider and community members’ knowledge of services
• Communication through providing direct information and support in an accessible way
• Building connection between services.
