We're a for-purpose organisation delivering health and support services that improve lives and strengthen communities. We believe everyone should have the power to live well. We started in Melbourne's east more than 50 years ago, helping fill the gaps in health and support services for local people. Today, we support communities across Australia with vital health and social services. Originally established as Maroondah Social Health Centre in 1974, our organisation was founded on the principle that all people are entitled to good health regardless of socio-economic factors. Over the last 50 years, we have evolved to become a responsive, community-based organisation.
We recognise that health and wellbeing are significantly and negatively affected by factors such as unemployment, homelessness, financial difficulties, social and cultural exclusion, and addiction, so we offer a wide range of supports to assist members of our community to lead happier, healthier lives. We believe that health and wellbeing are achieved through a holistic approach which includes not only biomedical factors, but the social determinants of health and wellbeing, such as access to safe and affordable housing, education, and employment. Our commitment is to you, and we strive to make a difference where it counts. We offer over 120 specialist programs and services, supporting over 70,000 people each year across more than 50 locations throughout Australia. Our team of over 1,500 expert staff and 200 dedicated volunteers work together to help people live better lives. They bring their whole hearts to work and stay open to new ideas, choosing to work at EACH because they want to create positive change. Our values guide us: We care, We listen, We learn, and We deliver. We partner with governments, healthcare providers, and community organisations to reach more people who need support, build stronger communities, and improve the way care is delivered.
