Connect Health & Community is now governed by the Board of Better Health Network, which was created as part of the amalgamation of Connect Health & Community, Star Health and Central Bayside Community Health Services.
In March 2022, the members of these community health organisations voted in favour of the amalgamation under the principles it would be better for clients, better for staff, better for volunteers and better for the communities we are here to serve.
Find out more about the amalgamation and the better health opportunities it will bring at bhn.org.au
Connect Health & Community is in the process of a voluntary amalgamation with Central Bayside Community Health Services and Star Health, and is therefore, no longer accepting memberships.
