Improving women's health in Victoria
A new survey from The Department of Health is asking for feedback from Victorian women about managing a woman’s health condition.
All responses will help us to develop a new Women’s Health Program model of care. This model will define what best practice care for Victorian women and girls looks like.
The survey is available in 8 languages and closes Friday 13 October.

We want your feedback on The Orange Door

Save a life this Shocktober
Bystander intervention has the greatest impact on improving the rate of survival from cardiac arrest. We know that CPR doubles your chance of survival. Using an AED increases survival even further.
October has now been called 'Shocktober', as Ambulance Victoria encourages all Victorians to learn how to use an AED, locate their nearest AED, and sign up to become a Good Samaritan responder.
To learn CPR and how to use an AED, visit
Shocktober.
