On behalf of everyone at Eastern Melbourne Primary Health Network we wish you a safe and happy Christmas and New Year!
Thank you to our partners for your ongoing support, particularly as we've embarked on our transformative journey during the past year.

EMPHN's CEO Robin Whyte will be moving on from EMPHN for personal reasons, finishing up at Christmas.
"I'm incredibly passionate about EMPHN’s next bold move into realising its transformative strategies under its Strategic Plan 2020-2025 and the next step forward for EMPHN, I am sure, will be another big and successful one.
"A heartfelt thank you to our partners for your ongoing support to me over the years and on this journey so far as we realise this transformative vision," Robin said.
EMPHN Chair Dr Stephen Duckett said Robin can be incredibly proud of the legacy she leaves at EMPHN.
"Over the last 12 months, EMPHN has repositioned itself with the transformational strategies. Robin has pursued these with gusto, taking a personal lead on a number of them and using her relationships in the region to build platforms which will endure.
"Without Robin's drive and persuasion I doubt we would have been able to achieve the external cooperation that has been established," Stephen said.
The recruitment process for a new CEO will commence in early 2020.
