Wellbeing

The LMPHU aims to enhance wellbeing through a prevention-focused approach, promoting resilience, connection and early intervention strategies. 

Wellbeing is a Loddon Mallee Public Health Unit (LMPHU) priority for 2025-2029. Wellbeing is a continued priority from 2023-2025 based on the local events that impact on wellbeing (eg pandemic, floods), available data and feedback from local services and communities. 

Improving wellbeing is a priority in the Victorian Public Health and Wellbeing Plan. Each year, one in five Victorians experiences a mental health condition and 45% are affected at some point in their lifetime. In 2022, wellbeing was identified as the top priority across the Loddon Mallee during stakeholder consultations. 

LMPHU Wellbeing Goals: 

  1. Embed respect and inclusion in communities and settings to increase cultural safety, connection and belonging.  
  2.  Promote relationships that reduce adversity and enhance wellbeing and resilience within individuals, families, communities and settings.  
  3. Foster mental health and wellbeing awareness and acceptance where all people feel safe and supported.
