This collaboration takes a whole-of-community approach to working with places where children & their families live, work and play.

  • Your Guide on Where to Access Fresh, Healthy Produce
    Alpine Shire Your guide on where to access fresh, healthy produce MYRTLEFORD • BRIGHT • MOUNT BEAUTY To discover more fresh food producers in North East Victoria, visit the Mountains to Murray Local Produce Guide website: localproduceguide.com.au 2 Alpine Health Alpine Shire Fresh Food Guide Each time we purchase food locally, we interact as a community - strengthening our social connections, improving our health and supporting a sustainable local food system. Food consumption and food access practices are embedded in everyday life and social relationships. This Food Access Guide is developed in partnership with Beechworth Health Service as part of the 2020 Local Food for Local People project. It aims to support a vibrant regional food system, where local people have access to fresh and healthy local food, profits stay in our local communities and community connections are nurtured. Food consumption and food access practices are embedded in everyday life and social relationships. Alpine communities offer many different stores selling fresh groceries, and the wider area abounds with local farms and producers of fruit, vegetables, meat, eggs, cheese, nuts, honey, olives and olive oil. This guide also shares information about where to find local food relief as Covid-19 has both made it difficult for many people in our communities to make ends meet and disrupted social relationships. Food relief options include basic supplies, fresh produce, healthy ready-made meals & vouchers. We have aimed to include food retail outlets, markets, producers, community gardens & food shares as well as emergency food relief offerings in this guide. If we have missed you or a food or community offering that should be included, please let us know so we can update this booklet!

  • Service Plan 2013
    Service Plan No. 6 1 July 2013 – 30 June 2018 This Service Plan sets out the strategic directions of Alpine Health to respond to the health and wellbeing needs of the Alpine Valleys communities “Keeping local services local” Health Service: Alpine Health Principal Contact: Lyndon Seys (Chief Executive Officer) Phone: (03) 5751 9344 Email: [email protected] June 2013 Alpine Health Service Plan – 2013 - 2018 Foreword Alpine Health’s Service model is based on the goal of keeping local services local. The rationale for this philosophy is that people’s health is best served by meeting their needs and providing services where they live and in their homes. Keeping Local Services Local Alpine Health is the lead health service organisation in Victoria’s Alpine Valleys. We were formed in 1996 from the amalgamation of three hospitals, health and aged care services in Bright, Mount Beauty and Myrtleford. Our purpose is to improve the health and wellbeing of people in the Alpine Shire. Our purpose is underpinned by a strong commitment to local service delivery. We believe that community health is best served through a local, decentralised service delivery model. Our Vision is to striving as far as possible to deliver local services for local people where they live. We also believe strongly that information is power. If we can educate and inform the community about health issues, we effectively empower people to take ownership of and improve their own health. An informed and empowered community is a healthy community – it is core to Alpine Health’s Vision. We are established as a multi-purpose health service under the Victorian Health and Wellbeing Act.
