The Loddon Mallee Health Network (LMHN) is an unincorporated joint venture governed by CEOs of public hospitals from the Loddon Mallee region.
The LMHN respects the sovereignty of local governance of each hospital and health service Board of Management, and the strategic focus of the LMHN Regional Plan 2020+ was developed in conjunction with the Board Chairperson's input and endorsement.
Individual Boards of Management have openly acknowledged that operating
strategically and collaboratively across the region strengthens the future offering and viability of healthcare services to our communities. The LMHN is a voluntary arrangement and is not a proxy for amalgamations or mergers.

The driving force for the creation of the LMHN was to ensure a great person-centered care experience across the entire region, a first of its kind in Victoria.
In the Loddon Mallee region, the LMHN has the remit to deliver on Health Service Partnership (HSP) Priorities as outlined by the Victorian Department of Health. The health services within the region work together to ensure every hospital is safe and sustainable and provides the most appropriate services for patients based on the skill mix of the staff and the physical infrastructure of each hospital.
LMHN Regional Plan 2020+LMHN acknowledges and celebrates Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across Victoria. Theirs is the oldest living and continuous culture on earth. Their deep relationship with and enduring care of Country is a gift to our nation. LMHN pays respect to the elders past and present, their custodianship, their culture and their resilience. Sovereignty was never ceded. This was and always will be Aboriginal land.
