The South Coast Prevention Team is a result of a strong commitment by two of the Bayside Health Gippsland Care Group (formerly Bass Coast Health and Gippsland Southern Health Service) and South Gippsland Hospital to work collectively across the sub-region with pooled health promotion resources.

This model has provided clearer policy direction and better alignment of prevention work across the sub-region of Bass Coast and South Gippsland (the South Coast) since it began in 2019.

The South Coast Prevention Team take a place-based, population wide approach to primary prevention that recognises that people and places are inter-related and that places where people spend their time play an important role in shaping their health and wellbeing.
