Services commence today at Flinders Street Health

A new community health hub at 244 Flinders Street has begun providing services, seeking to provide compassionate, practical and coordinated support for people experiencing vulnerability in Melbourne’s CBD. Operated by cohealth, Flinders Street Health will provide a gateway to services and support across the city.

“Bringing existing and new services together will make it easier for people to receive coordinated care, comprehensive case management and practical support to maintain their health and wellbeing,” Victorian Health Building Authority said, the project forming part of the Victorian Government’s Statewide Action Plan.
