Last week, our Refugee Health team, along with the Community Engagement and Multicultural Health Care teams came together to celebrate Refugee Week and honour the strength and resilience of people from refugee backgrounds.
In addition to celebrating Refugee Week at our own sites, alongside our employees and clients, we also participated in the Hume and Whittlesea community celebrations.
- Interacted with people from diverse refugee backgrounds and shared the work that DPV Health does in the Refugee Health space
- Shared translated health resources based on community-identified needs
- Engaged with the community through games and activities focused on wellbeing, belonging, and connection
DPV Health proudly serves the Hume and Whittlesea LGAs, key areas within our catchment. Over the past 10 years, these LGA's have welcomed 15,802 humanitarian arrivals (VRHN Data Bulletin Q4 2025).
Through our Refugee Health Program, we support individuals and families from pre-arrival through to settlement.
Thank you to our staff, partners, and community for making this week so meaningful.
