Spotlight on Gippsland

We know that healthy communities aren't built by one organisation alone. They're built when everyone comes together with a shared goal. VicHealth CEO Professor Anna Peeters recently visited organistions in Gippsland, including the Bass Coast South Gippsland Food System Alliance, to share ideas and talk about how to continue supporting community-led approaches to better health.

“Prevention is often discussed in terms of systems, services and strategies. And while this is true, spending two days in Gippsland last week was a reminder of how health is shaped by practical details of everyday life, such as how easy it is to find affordable fresh food near home” - Anna Peeters.
