Background
Community Health in Ballarat is provided across four sites including Sebastopol, the City centre, East Ballarat, and Wendouree. Outreach services and clinics are also provided at a range of locations throughout the Central Highlands. The primary emphasis in all service delivery is health promotion and illness prevention.

Ballarat Community Health is primarily governed by the Health Services Act 1988, but additionally complies with all other relevant legislation such as The Information Privacy Act 2000, The Health Records Act 2001, The Whistleblower’s Act 2001 and the Associations Incorporation Act 1981, as an incorporated body.

Ballarat Community Health strives for high quality, flexible and responsive service delivery and health promotion through a focus on service monitoring, review and evaluation. Ballarat Community Health is accredited through QICSA and is pleased and proud to have achieved a further 3-year accreditation for the services provided to our community.
