Department of Health
The Australian Government will provide up to $1.5 million of funding to support the continuation of cohealth's general practice services through to 31 July 2026.
The announcement follows a decision by cohealth to defer the closure of three general practice services in Melbourne until February 2026.
The Government asked the cohealth Board to pause its decision to close general practice services in Collingwood, Fitzroy and Kensington in December, noting the significant impact it would have on patients, staff and the broader community.
This funding allows cohealth to keep services open while ensuring continuity of care for patients and families and a long-term solution is developed.
