In July 2023, the Victorian Department of Health commissioned an Expert Advisory Committee to examine the design and governance of Victoria’s health services system. As part of this, the Committee developed the Health Services Plan, which provided a number of recommendations with the aim of a more connected system that delivers the right care, at the right time, in the right place for all Victorians.It has been on the public record, in a statement from our Board Chair Frank Carlus on 31 May, that Timboon and District Healthcare Service (TDHS) has identified a strong preference for strengthened partnerships and the retention of local governance and has communicated our position to the Minister for Health and our local government Members of Parliament – www.timboonhealthcare.com.au/health-service-system-update/The Government has announced today that it accepted 26 of 27 recommendations proposed by the Expert Advisory Committee. The Government will deliver several key reforms in response to these recommendations. It will not, however, forcibly amalgamate or consolidate Victoria’s health services.TDHS will now spend time to understand the 179-page report and provide further information and guidance in the upcoming week.If you would like to read the Health Services Plan final report by the Expert Advisory Committee you can access this on the Department of Health website: www.health.vic.gov.au/research-and-reports/health-services-plan.We would like to thank you, our wonderful community, for your unwavering support in working together for a healthy community. ...

A new case of measles has been reported in Victoria in a returned overseas traveller.Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can spread from person-to-person and potentially lead to serious health complications.People who have attended the listed exposure sites during the specified dates and times should monitor for symptoms of measles. There are multiple locations identified across Victoria, however the four exposure locations and times for the Barwon South West are:-Tuesday 25 June 11:00am to 12:00noonColes, Corner of Bromfield Street and Queen Street, Colac, VIC, 3250 -Wednesday 26 June 3:00pm to 3:50pm Toyworld Warrnambool, Timor St Warrnambool 3280-Thursday 27 June 11:00am to 11:40am -Friendly Grocer, 23 Lord St, Port Campbell 3269 -Friday 28 June 5:00pm to 7:00pm Port Campbell Hotel, 40 Lord St, Port Campbell 3269-Friday 28 June 6:30pm to 7:30pm Friendly Grocer, 23 Lord St, Port Campbell 3269 Anyone who develops symptoms of measles should seek medical care. Call the health service beforehand to advise that you may have been exposed to measles and wear a mask.Symptoms of measles include:-fever-cough-sore or red eyes (conjunctivitis)-runny nose-feeling generally unwell-followed by a red rash.It can take up to 18 days for symptoms to develop after exposure. So it's important for people who visited these locations to look out for symptoms up until 18 days from exposure.Initial symptoms of measles may be similar to those of COVID-19 and influenza. If a symptomatic person tests negative for COVID-19 and/or influenza but develops a rash, they should be advised to continue isolating and be tested for measles.We want to remind the community to make sure they are up to date with their vaccinations. The measles vaccine can prevent the disease even after exposure, if given early enough.This should be a reminder for everyone to check that they are protected against measles, which is highly infectious.The MMR vaccine is available in Victoria for free:• on the National Immunisation Program, routinely given at 12 months and 18 months of age.• for anyone born during or after 1966 who have not already received two doses of measles-containing vaccine, are unsure of their vaccination status, or do not have evidence of immunity to measles.• for young infants aged 6 to 12 months prior to overseas travel to countries where measles is endemic or where outbreaks of measles are occurring. If an infant receives an early dose of MMR vaccine prior to travel, they should still receive routine doses at 12 months and 18 months of age as per the National Immunisation Program scheduleAnyone planning overseas travel should make sure they have received appropriate travel vaccinations, including MMR vaccine.For a full list of locations, times and further information see the Chief Health Officer alert here: www.health.vic.gov.au/health-alerts/new-measles-case-in-victoria If you are concerned that you may have been exposed and have developed symptoms call your GP prior to presenting at clinics, or for advice contact the Barwon South West Public Health Unit on 03 4215 4000. ...

Quitting nicotine can be one of the most difficult, yet rewarding, things a person can do. Many smokers and vapers say they would like to quit and may have tried at least once. Some are successful the first time, but others try a number of times before they finally give up for good.It's hard to stop, but with help and support, you can quit smoking and vaping.In partnership with South West Healthcare, Timboon and District Healthcare Service is now offering a Smoking Cessation Clinic at our Timboon Clinic. It offers a confidential, individualised service to help you give up smoking and/or vaping and provide support to assist you staying smoke and/or vape free. The program includes one-on-one counselling addressing why you may smoke and/or vape and how to change “habits” and triggers and deal with the emotional side to smoking.Education in the correct use of smoking and/or vaping cessation medications and how to qualify for PBS scripts is provided.This is a free monthly service and for more information or to book an appointment, please contact Timboon Clinic on 5558 6088. ...

International Nurses Day is celebrated annually on May 12th to honour the birth anniversary of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing. It provides an opportunity to appreciate and acknowledge the contributions of nurses to healthcare and society. Nurses play a critical role in healthcare, providing compassionate care, advocating for consumers, and improving health outcomes; they truly are heroes. At Timboon and District Healthcare Service we have a diverse workforce consisting of about 60 nurses, who not only work on our ward but also in other areas of our healthcare service: District Nursing, Allied Health, Quality Improvement, Regional Assessment, Timboon Clinic, and our Executive area.Think about how the expertise of a nurse has improved your health or that of a loved one in the last 12 months. Maybe they cared for your child, organised community care for your parent, visited your partner at home to look after a wound, vaccinated you against COVID-19 or provided crucial and caring support to a family member in their last moments.Nurses are connected to our community in all different ways, and they should be proud of the work they do and the positive influence they and their work has on others.Timboon and District Healthcare Service acknowledge and thank our wonderful nurses for the work they do❤️ ...

We want to keep you updated on the industrial action regarding the nurses' pay agreement. Starting today, some of our nursing staff will begin protective action by wearing bright red t-shirts instead of their usual TDHS uniform. Rest assured, consumer care will remain unaffected. “ We take protected industrial action as a last resort. Consumer health, safety, or welfare will not be at risk. There might be some inconvenience and for this we are sorry,” said our Nursing Team.This action is aimed at advocating for our nurses and enhancing their working conditions, which will ultimately benefit consumer care in the long term.Your understanding and support during this time are greatly appreciated. Should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us on 5558 6000. ... See MoreSee Less
