Our community snapshot
The Eastern Melbourne PHN (EMPHN) catchment population was 1.43 million in 2016 (24% of the Victorian population). EMPHN has a very mixed catchment; among some suburbs of high affluence are hot spots of very high need that require a focused response such as:
- pockets of entrenched socioeconomic disadvantage including West Heidelberg and parts of Knox
- lag in access to services in the rapidly expanding northern growth corridor of Whittlesea-Wallan and the Yarra Ranges in the outer-east
- more than 6,800 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people live in the catchment, particularly in Knox, Banyule, Whittlesea-Wallan and Yarra Ranges.
