Our Purpose
We exist to promote and enhance the health and wellbeing of the people of the East Gippsland High Country.
We work to improve community wellbeing, support people when they are unwell and ensure that appropriate health care remains accessible locally.
Our Strategy
ODH is guided by its Strategic Plan 2024 - 2027, which sets out our direction and priorities.
Our History
Omeo District Health has a proud history of resilience and community service. The health service has overcome economic challenges, population changes and the complete loss of its facility in a fire in 1939.
After extensive renovation, the modern ODH facility officially opened in 2005. Since then, it has continued to grow into a contemporary rural health service offering hospital care, residential aged care, allied health, medical services and home-based support.
