service. While classified as a Victorian regional health service, it is co-funded under an intergovernmental

River, the district enjoys strong population growth and a vibrant culture, making it a great place to live and
work. It is conveniently located between Sydney and Melbourne with a 3 hour drive to Melbourne and 5 hour
drive to Sydney or a quick flight from Albury Airport.

services. The organisation also has a compelling strategic plan, setting out its direction and priorities through
to 2021.
