Strategic Direction

The Mornington Island Health Strategy 2019 – 2024 provides a blue-print from which government, health service providers and other key stakeholders can work collaboratively to achieve the priority Action Areas that have been identified by the Mornington Island people.

It is a practical guide that can ensure organisations are in strategic alignment with the important health priorities to ensure health service providers and other key stakeholders work in collaboration, as we bring into line collective approaches that will result in better health, empowerment and wellbeing outcomes for the Mornington Island community.
