WPHU

The Western Public Health Unit would like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands that cover our catchment, the Wurundjeri Woi-Wurrung, Boon Wurrung and Bunurong, and Wadawurrung peoples of the greater Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging. We are committed to the healing of Country, and working towards equity in health outcomes, and the ongoing journey of reconciliation. Western Public Health Unit is committed to respectfully listening and learning from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and wholeheartedly supports their journey of self-determination... WPHU is one of nine local public health units (LPHUs) established in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic to manage local cases and outbreaks of COVID-19. In 2022, WPHU took on additional public health responsibilities for other notifiable conditions and broadened our scope to include population health promotion.
