Board director opportunities at Moyne Health Service

Join a Victorian public health board

The Department of Health is seeking applications for part-time Board Director positions at Moyne Health Service. Appointment terms start on 1 July 2027 and are for up to three years.

These roles offer a unique opportunity to contribute to Victoria’s public health system by providing strategic leadership, oversight and accountability to support safe, high-quality and effective healthcare for Victorians.

Appointments are based on capabilities and the professional and lived experience applicants can bring to the strategic leadership of Victoria’s public health system.

We encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and experiences, including First Nations people, people living with a disability, culturally and linguistically diverse communities, LGBTIQA+ people, and those living in rural and regional Victoria.

We would like to remind our community that our Urgent Care Centre operates under a nurse-led model of care. Our experienced nursing staff provide assessment, treatment, stabilisation, and coordination of care for a range of urgent health conditions.
When deciding whether to attend Urgent Care or call an ambulance, it is important to consider the nature and urgency of your symptoms.
Some conditions are time-critical emergencies where delays in treatment can significantly affect outcomes. These include:
• Chest pain or suspected heart attack
• Stroke symptoms (facial droop, arm weakness, speech difficulties)
• Severe breathing difficulties or asthma attacks
• Collapse or unconsciousness
• Severe bleeding
• Major trauma
For these conditions, calling 000 immediately is the safest option. Ambulance clinicians can commence assessment and treatment on arrival and transport patients directly to the most appropriate health service.
While our nursing team will assess and manage all patients who present to Urgent Care, some presentations may require transfer to a higher-level service, which can result in delays to definitive treatment for time-critical conditions.
As we enter the thunderstorm asthma season, we also encourage residents with asthma to:
✅ Review and update their Asthma Action Plan
✅ Carry their reliever medication at all times
✅ Ensure prescriptions and medications are current
✅ Seek medical review if symptoms are becoming more difficult to manage
Understanding when to call an ambulance and when to attend Urgent Care can help ensure you receive the right care, at the right place, at the right time.
Thank you for supporting the safe and appropriate use of our local health service.
If you think your condition may be life-threatening, call 000 immediately

💗 Breast Cancer Awareness Day 💗

Today, we stand together to raise awareness, show support, and honour the strength of everyone impacted by breast cancer.

Breast cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in Australia, affecting thousands of individuals and families every year. By increasing awareness, encouraging regular screening, and supporting vital research, we can help improve outcomes and save lives.

We invited everyone to wear pink today as a symbol of hope, solidarity, and support. Whether we are wearing pink in memory of a loved one, in support of a colleague or friend, or simply to help raise awareness, every conversation matters.

A big thank you to everyone who purchased our Breast Cancer Awareness Ribbons, pin and pens. Your generosity will help support the important work of the National Breast Cancer Foundation and contribute to a future where no lives are lost to breast cancer.

A big shout out to Ella and Lilly (pictured) who went that extra mile in organising fundraising and an afternoon tea for the residents. Your efforts and kind heartedness is appreciated.

Together, let's celebrate courage, support those affected, and continue the conversation about early detection and breast health.

💗 Wear Pink. Raise Awareness. Make a Difference. 💗
