• Post stories of VicHealth’s impact on you, your community, your organisation through whatever social platforms you use. If you mention/tag the campaign’s linkedin.com/friends-of-vichealth and/or instagram.com/savevichealth posts can be more easily amplified.

VicHealth has touched the lives of countless people, through community programs, research funding, health promotion and policy change. These stories matter, and we need to share them with decision‑makers. Whether you’ve partnered with VicHealth, studied with their support, or benefited from their campaigns, please add your voice and spread the word.

Decision‑makers are watching. Together we can reach 10,000 signatures this week and show just how vital VicHealth’s independence is for Victoria’s future.

Let’s keep building momentum!
