Vale Dr Alison Green - a life taken too soon
It is with great sadness that we advise the tragic death of Murray PHN Deputy Chair and Board Director Dr Alison Green on Friday 10 October. Alison will be greatly missed, particularly by her colleagues at Murray PHN, having been an integral part of our Board for eight years.
We acknowledge Alison’s significant and longstanding contributions to her patients, local community and the general practice profession. We will remember Alison as being a vibrant, down-to-earth and passionate member of our team. Our thoughts go out to her family, friends, colleagues and the patients whose lives she touched.
We also send our deep condolences to her friends and colleagues at the Central Medical Group in Wodonga, where Alison has been a pivotal and much-loved figure for more than 30 years.

Happy Allied Health Professions Day 🎉 and what a better way to celebrate, than with our second Community of Practice event in Bendigo this morning.

Thank you to all allied health professionals for the vital role you play in keeping our communities healthy and well 🙏

This year's theme ‘Stronger together’ highlights the benefits of multidisciplinary team-based care.

In rural and regional settings such as ours, we particularly need strong rural health teams, consisting of a range of health workers, including allied health professionals, to improve access to and the delivery of care.

A reliable roof over your head is one of the basic necessities of life, yet homelessness rates are growing due to a housing supply shortage and limited social housing, combined with the challenges of buying or renting an affordable home.

Homelessness doesn’t discriminate – it affects men, women, older people, young adults and families. People who are experiencing homelessness or unstable housing situations often find it difficult to break a poor health cycle.

The lack of safe, secure and stable housing, along with complex psychosocial factors, a lack of nutrition and hydration are some of the factors that contribute to poor health in people experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

Building on Murray PHN's in-depth health needs assessment on homelessness, we are releasing this new report today to provide community members with some of the key insights into the threat of housing insecurity in our region and the associated impacts.
