Link Health and Community is committed to a connected, active, and healthier Monash local community.
We work in partnership with Access Health and Community and healthAbility to improve the health and wellbeing of our community in the Inner East (Boroondara, Manningham, Monash and Whitehorse local government areas). To do this, ‘the partnership’ applies an integrated place-based, systems-thinking approach to health promotion.
- Healthy eating: making the healthy option, the easy option
- Active living: moving more and sitting less
We also look at how climate change, gender, and health equity impact our health, as well as how we can address these issues.

We aim to create healthy places where we live, learn, work, connect and play.
