The COVID-19 webpage resource has been updated and includes further information and videos to support our communities across central Hume.
We acknowledge there is a rapidly unfolding public health response to COVID-19 and would like to thank those services and staff who have been working tirelessly to respond, and to prepare for continued response to this virus. We are appreciative of those who are not only trying to support their own family, but who are also there for other individuals and families in our community.
Central Hume PCP has put together a COVID-19 webpage resource providing information on prevention, social connection & mental wellbeing. It has links to local information and information for culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) groups and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. It won’t be static as we will review and add as we come across resources.
We hope it will be a beneficial resource to the communities across Central Hume.

Access professional support—in the comfort of your own home—with a registered Australian Psychologist who understands the many factors of farming life and work contributing to poor mental health.
As a farmer or agricultural worker, you are used to dealing with uncertain seasonal conditions and other challenges, but with COVID-19 rapidly changing many aspects of life as we know it, it’s vitally important to ensure that you continue to look for new ways to look after your health and wellbeing.
The ability for all Australians to access Medicare subsidised telehealth consults with their GP or psychologists can help you keep on top of your health and wellbeing without needing to leave the farm. Telehealth gives you access to services via video or phone conferencing where it is appropriate and safe to do so.
