Taking a moment to celebrate and reflect on all we’ve achieved in 2024 🎉, we hosted a number of End-Of-Year Celebrations for staff 🎊 across various BHN sites. We were thrilled to partner with Waverley Social Enterprises who provided the delicious catering 🍽️ for some of our get-togethers. A purpose-driven organisation, Waverley Social Enterprises has been supporting the employment of people with disability for 40 years, providing on-the-job training to help employees grow and develop with opportunities to work in a range of business services.🌟 We were so pleased to be able to partner with such a purpose-driven organisation to help us celebrate the successes of another big year! Thanks for the amazing food!🤝 #InclusiveEmployment #SupportingOurCommunity #CelebratingSuccess

Thank you Digital Nation for featuring BHN’s story of digitising our integration journey following tri-party merger. As we complete our business integration, we are pivoting and preparing for the next phase of how we transform BHN to actualise the purpose of our merger. Going digital with monday.com enabled us the opportunity to collaborate and have full visibility and transparency across all integration work, underpinning the foundations of building teamwork and trust across 3 legacy teams. We have planted the seeds of a digital mindset at BHN and look forward to strengthening this as we step forward.

We recently partnered with Better Health Network (BHN) to help reimagine how they deliver care and services to their community. Following the merger of three organisations, BHN aimed to create a more seamless and accessible experience for their clients. By working together, we co-created a customer experience strategy that puts people first — embedding a client-focused philosophy at every step of the journey. This approach equips BHN with the tools to deliver consistent, integrated care that meets the real needs of their clients, employees, and volunteers.

BHN is an proud member of Community Health First which yesterday launched its 2025 Victorian Budget Submission. The submission recommends evidence-based programs that improve health access and outcomes for Victorians, and would avoid an average $3 in future healthcare costs for every $1 invested. It includes support for Victorians on public surgery waiting lists, accessible healthcare in regional and rural communities, and preventative services to effectively manage chronic disease outside of hospital. These programs can deliver a stronger, more sustainable and equitable healthcare system for all Victorians. Read the submission at https://lnkd.in/gE99Wjnj and get behind the drive to put our community’s health first. #CommunityHealthFirst #BetterHealthForAll #BetterHealthFirst

A small but mighty group of BHN staff attended Respect Victoria’s Walk Against Family Violence on Friday in the CBD. It was inspiring to be gathered with so many others similarly passionate about creating Victorian communities where everyone is safe, equal and respected. We walked with partner organisations as part of the PRET (Promoting Respect and Equity Together) partnership. Better Health Network is committed to gender equality and respect and to the prevention of violence against women. We believe that people of all genders deserve equal rights, voice, opportunities, dignity, fairness, equity and to feel safe, valued and respected in their workplace and community. #16Days #16DaysOfActivism
