BCHS currently has three positions for strategic and collaborative leaders to join our board, who will help guide and grow our organisation into the future.

Bendigo Community Health Services delivers more than 50 programs across the region, which help people live healthier and more connected lives.

This includes access to GPs, along with services covering families and children, mental health and counselling, alcohol and other drugs, sexual health, men's and women's health clinics, supporting the LGBTIQ community and refugee settlement. BCHS also helps people manage specific health and wellbeing needs, such as managing their mental health or living with chronic conditions such as diabetes, respiratory issues or heart disease.

We are a community-owned, not-for-profit organisation with sites in central Bendigo, Kangaroo Flat, Eaglehawk, North Bendigo and Elmore and we work in partnership with other health services across central Victoria.

Whether you are an experienced board director or starting your board career, we are seeking applications from people who are aligned with our values and purpose and particularly those with experience in any of the following:

We are committed to diversity on the Board of Directors, including Aboriginality, race, religion, ethnicity, disability, age, gender (including non-binary, sexual orientation), and we encourage nominations from people with lived experience (either personally or as a carer/supporter) with any of the specialised programs or services conducted by BCHS.

If you value equity and diversity and care about the social determinants of health, we would love to hear from you. Please complete our nomination form, which you can find here.
