Your Community Health is participating in the 2024 Victorian Healthcare Experience Survey (VHES). It helps us understand your experience with us and how we can keep improving our services.
The Survey runs from March-May 2024 and is run by Ipsos, an independent contractor, on behalf of the Department of Health.

If you attended an appointment at one of our health centres or through telehealth in January or February this year, you will be contacted in March or April and invited to participate in the online Survey.
A few important things to know about the survey:
