The Kingston Bayside Primary Care Partnership is a voluntary alliance between service providers and agencies within the municipalities of Kingston and Bayside. These two local government areas represent a combined population of approximately 235,000 people and are located within the Southern Metropolitan Region of Melbourne.
Primary Care Partnerships are an initiative of the Victorian State Government to facilitate the development of stronger partnerships, support service coordination and integrated chronic disease management and promote the integration of health promotion across agencies.
The Kingston Bayside Primary Care Partnership is committed to planning and working collaboratively on identified health and wellbeing priorities to improve the health outcomes of the Kingston Bayside community.
Our partnership has identified the ‘Promotion of Mental Health and Wellbeing’ as our key integrated health promotion priority for 2009-2012. We currently have 13 individual agencies committed to working in partnership to implement the Act-Belong-Commit Campaign within our catchment.
