The power of support in one place

We asked community health clients about their experiences, and their responses told a consistent story: community health helps people stay healthy and well, supported on their health journey, and feel more connected to their local community.

At the heart of community health is a simple but important principle: meet people where they are. We know that health and wellbeing don't exist in a vacuum. They're shaped by income, education, housing, and the strength of someone's social connections. That's why community health services are purposely designed to reflect the unique needs of each person and the communities we work in. There is no one-size-fits-all approach.

What our clients told us:

• 92% of clients say community health helps them better manage their health and wellbeing 
  

• 89% of clients say community health makes it easier to get the care and support they need 
  

• 76% of clients say community health makes them feel more connected and less alone 

Nearly half of our clients accessing more than one service through their local community health organisation and two thirds of people seeking support through community health say it is better compared to other health or wellbeing services they use.

Our client feedback is a picture of community health in action: responsive, personal, and genuinely making a difference.
