DHS Regions are responsible for planning, funding and the delivery of health, housing and community services. They also develop strong partnerships with health and community agencies to collaboratively plan local services to ensure the Victorian community receives high quality services.
Most clients of the department will receive services from regional staff, and most funded health, housing and community services (of which there are more than 2500) will work directly with DHS regional staff. Regions deliver services from more than 500 locations across the state ranging from regional offices, housing offices, community residential units and large residential centres.
