About Us

East Grampians Health Service is based in Ararat and Willaura (Regional Victoria) and takes its name from the magnificent mountain range that provides a backdrop to both townships.  We are committed to providing quality care and services that meet the needs of the community, whilst continuously striving for improvement and aiming to lead the way in provision of health related services:

Community Nursing is a part of the broader Community Services Department based in Ararat. We provide community nursing across the catchment area of Ararat Rural City. Community nursing includes palliative care, district nursing, hospital in the home, hospital admission risk program (HARP), home care packages and specialist nursing programs. Each program area aims to provide awareness and education which enables community members to have a better understanding of their own health issues and thus take greater responsibility for improving their own health outcomes.
