Ranges Community Health is an independent, not-for-profit community health organisation with centres in Lilydale and Belgrave. Our service area is the southwest part of the Shire of Yarra Ranges.
Our mission is to support and promote healthy individuals and communities by providing quality, accessible community health services. This is achieved through the provision of primary health and population health services locally at our centres, at GP clinics and community hubs.
