The Loddon Mallee Health Network

The Loddon Mallee Local Health Service Network (LMLHSN) is collaborative partnership between public funded health services in the Loddon Mallee region, aimed at improving health care quality, safety, and service delivery across the region. LMLHSN's vision is to shape the future of health service delivery, ensuring a great person-centred care experience across the region while delivering the right care at the right time in the right place. LMHN operates under the values of Respect, Integrity, and Collaboration.

The geography of this Network spans from the more densely populated Macedon Ranges Shire in the south to the remote and more sparsely populated Mallee Region in the far northwest. This grouping reflects the existing patient flows which follow the main transport routes along the Murray River and down towards Bendigo and Melbourne. This diverse region presents unique healthcare challenges, which the LMHN addresses through a region-wide approach to service planning and delivery. The population served is 334,000 (Victoria) + 9,305 (NSW).  Due to the geographical diversity of the region some of the work of the LMHN is best completed in sub-regional groupings.

Network Health Services: Bendigo Health, Boort District Health, Cohuna District Hospital, Dhelkaya Health, Echuca Regional Health, Heathcote Health, Inglewood and Districts Health Service, Kerang District Health, Mallee Track Health and Community Service, Mildura Base Public Hospital, Robinvale District Health Services, Rochester & Elmore District Health Service, Swan Hill District Health.

LMHN Vision: Shaping the future of health service delivery to give our communities a great experience throughout the Loddon Mallee region.

LMHN Values: Respect, Integrity and Collaboration

Safer Care Victoria

Safer Care Victoria (SCV) is launched its first state wide safety improvement initiative, the Safer Together Program in July 2024. This program is a state-wide safety improvement program. It aims to establish a continuously improving learning health system that is safer, more person-centred, sustainable, and delivers better outcomes for Victorians. The Safer Together Program projects are delivered together with Health Service Partnerships (HSPs: Loddon Mallee Health Network) to allow for a coordinated state wide safety improvement program ensuring the care provided by our Victorian system is:

• safer – improving patient outcomes through a reduction in avoidable harm;
• person-centred – guided by people’s values, beliefs and their specific contexts to provide the care in the right way, at the right time and in the right place;
• sustainable – making the best use of all resources.

Improving quality and safety in the health system has been identified as a strategic priority for HSPs. HSPs will be offered some funding to deliver and coordinate the implementation of the Safer Together Program throughout the state. Program and funding arrangements will be continuously reviewed to align with the successful delivery of the program and ongoing system reforms.
