Let's be very clear: this is not cost-saving - it's cost-adding. It's a false economy that only makes people sicker.

#VicHealth is more than government agency - it’s part of who we are as Victorians, & world leading incubator & innovator for #HealthPromotion & #PublicHealth.
But @vicgovau.bsky.social wants to shut it down.
Join other friends of VicHealth to raise our voices and #SaveVicHealth c.org/YkpGWMTPfH

Communities deserve strong, independent voices in health, not fewer.

We urge the Victorian Government to reconsider this decision.

Strengthening VicHealth will strengthen prevention. Dismantling it won’t.
